Usually, we’d start off our annual Xmas message by congratulating you all on a job well done throughout the year and hoping you all have a great Christmas holidays.
This year that feels rather inadequate. No one could have predicted just how things would turn out at the beginning of 2020, and for possibly the first time ever, your skills, knowledge, hard work and inventiveness throughout the initial lockdown period and through the re-opening of the schools have not gone unnoticed by the wider educational community.
From setting up a wide array of remote leaning tools, to the sourcing and distribution of hardware to enable staff and students to work from home to sorting out better internet connectivity for your schools, colleges and universities, this year has been intense for everyone. And you have come though it with flying colours.
The way we have seen you all come together in the forums to help each other out during the pandemic has been nothing short of amazing. From setting up remote learning over a variety of platforms to sourcing hardware services the help you have provided to each other has been amazing.
You should all be very proud of your achievements.
We also know that some of you have had a very hard time this year with some losing jobs or being furloughed for long periods. We do hope that the new year brings a lot more opportunities for you.
We’d also like to thank our sponsors for the help and support they have offered you all during this period, especially those who had been trying to supply products and services to you all during a very awkward and intense time, but also the EdTech industry as a whole, who, in many cases, went above and beyond in their efforts to help out where they could with their workforce either furloughed or working from home.
From the start of lockdown we had been speaking directly to many companies, both large and small, all of whom were desperate to offer assistance to those either currently using or introducing their products and as their customers and clients were mostly now working from home this became quite hard for them at times, so we helped them out wherever we could.
You were all quite, quite epic.
And last, and by no means least, our mods and supporters who have been so amazing over the past year.
But now the end is in sight, with vaccines being rolled out, we think it’s time you all took it easier for the next couple of weeks and put your feet up with a glass of whatever takes your fancy.
You have all more than earned it.
From all of us here at EduGeek, we wish you all a wonderful, healthy and safe Christmas, and, with the gods willing, we shall see you in the real world at some point next year.
