DigiEduHack: 24 hours of Finding New Approaches to Digital Education

Ana Hibert of the Centre for Research in Digital Education, supported by Dr Michael Gallagher, recently organised a 24-hour hackathon at the University of Edinburgh to explore new approaches to some of the challenges faced in digital education today.

Data Education in Schools

Data Education in Schools (DES) takes a socially responsible and consultative partnership approach with children and teachers to understand their concerns and hopes about how new technologies will impact their lives. We investigate how critical concerns about technology in education are considered by school-aged learners and their educators. The ethos of the DES programme (and related projects) is to uphold children’s right to be consulted about issues which impact them in the digital realm.
