Unlike most sectors, edtech has been booming over the last few months. Flashcards startup Quizlet is now a unicorn, digital textbook company Top Hat is finding unprecedented surges in usage and student success business Edsights raised nearly $2 million from high-profile investors, all from inbound interest. Investors are so confident that homeschooling might become a trend that they just invested $3.7 million in Primer, which creates a full-stack infrastructure to help parents get started. https://karafarin.ca/educational-technology-is-surging/ #EdTech #EducationTechnology #Covid #HomeSchooling
