Description
On this episode of Global Victoria Tech Talks hosted by Pavan Srinath, Pavan is joined by Jason Kimberley, Managing Director at Cool Australia, a leading education not-for-profit organisation that leads on democratising the education sector through technology. About 90% of Australian schools and 40% of Australian teachers use resources created by Cool Australia.
In this episode, Pavan talks to Jason about Cool Australia’s inception, the platform’s impact on reducing student disengagement, the support for overloaded and under-resourced educators, and much more. They also discuss about Cool Australia’s curriculum designs to ensure students are engaged holistically while also assisting the teachers in the dynamic mode of communication. Jason also elaborates on the vital role of technology in EdTech, Victorian Government’s support to this particular growth sector, Cool Australia’s expansion model to include parents during the pandemic and the talent required for content creation. Tune in for this and a lot more.
