In this final episode of 2024, we reflect on the year's highlights, discussing significant themes in education, including assessment, innovation, and the role of technology. We review key podcast episodes, including conversations with influential guests and their experiences at events like BETT and the Brilliant Festival.

The discussion emphasises the importance of contextualising technology in education and looking forward to the opportunities that 2025 will bring. In this conversation, we reflect on Uprising 2024, celebrating its success and the vibrant community that supports it, which we will make happen again in Manchester in June 2025.

We discuss the importance of recognising individuals making a difference in education, the excitement for future events, and the role of technology as an enabler in education. We talk about the need for authenticity in their discussions and the importance of calling out ineffective practices in the education system. The conversation is filled with enthusiasm for the future and a commitment to meaningful change in education.
