The Evolution of Ed Tech
The field of education technology, or ed tech, has undergone a remarkable transformation since its inception in the 1970s. What was once a nascent field of research and development has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry, shaping the way we learn and teach. The Journal, launched in 1972, was the first publication to focus on “Technological Horizons in Education,” which has since become synonymous with ed tech. As the field grew, so did THE Journal’s coverage, expanding from a print magazine to a comprehensive online platform. THE Journal’s Range of Publications & Products
