Welcome to the brand new Evolve EdTech - Evolving for a new era.

Welcome to the brand new Evolve EdTech website. We are so glad to have you here. This is also the first of our new regular blog posts on our website.

Today marks a new era for Evolve EdTech. After a rough 2022 personally and professionally, the team have decided to increase our focus and efforts in establishing and growing Evolve EdTech. Our goal here at Evolve EdTech is to provide educators from around the world with tips, tricks and tools to help you confidently integrate educational technology into your classroom. 

So, what happened in 2022 that was the catalyst for the increase evolution and focus on building Evolve EdTech? Well, our interest in sharing our knowledge and helping other teachers has been simmering away for a few years now. Evolve EdTech started it's journey in 2020 as The EdTech Teacher. In 2021 we rebranded as Evolve EdTech to refocus our identity and to formalise our name. In 2022, our creator Tristan was offered the chance to undertake a Relieving Head Teacher English role at a high school in rural New South Wales, Australia. He jumped at this chance to develop his skills and refresh his focus on teaching and learning, and the integration of technology in the classroom. Unfortunately, Tristan decided to return to his home school after one semester for personal reasons. This change was positive, however it was also that one moment that he needed to fully realise his desire to become a full time educational technology specialist. And from this, his goal to develop Evolve EdTech began with an aim of being aim to reduce his teaching load over the next several years and focus more on supporting teachers with Evolve EdTech.

And this marks where we are now. Today we have launched our brand new website. It has taken Tristan almost 6 months to create this website (yes, Tristan does everything himself as we are an independent and finance business). A number of trusted friends and colleagues have been testers and have provided feedback about every aspect of our new website to ensure it can assist in achieving our goal of providing tips, tricks and tools, whilst also being something we can maintain whilst also being a full time high school teacher. 

In addition, today we have also launched our brand new regular blog series. Regularly a new blog will be added to the website. And here you are right now, reading the very first Evolve EdTech blog post. We will also be introducing the new Evolve with EdTech podcast shortly, and you can now access a weekly Quick Tip of the Week video. Further to this, we will continue to create infographics, ebooks, tutorial videos and more as we move into the future. We want to be somewhere you go for assistance when it comes to educational technology.

We can't promise everything will be perfect, we might make mistakes, we are only human. We also can't promise that we might have some periods where we are tired or exhausted, because again we are only human. But we will do everything we can to make Evolve EdTech a one stop shop full of tips, tricks and tools to help you develop your confidence with using educational technology whether you are a beginner or an expert, we are here for everyone.

So, thank you for join our journey. We hope you stay with us. The one thing we ask is that you share our brand with your colleagues or school community, you engage with us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, you subscribe to our Youtube channel, you use our resources. We are here to help you.

We have big plans for this year, and as we move into the future. Are we scared? Yes, we are petrified. Are we keen to get going? Gosh, yes you bet we are. So, thank you for being part of our journey here at Evolve EdTech. We love and appreciate everyone who is ready to begin this journey with us.

Thank you,
