(CONTENTS)
(ET) Magazine is dedicated to providing the information and context necessary to advance the efficacy of technology used in education. Our articles are carefully selected by our editorial advisory board and are written by the finest minds in the world of EdTech.
On the cover: The cover art for this issue came to us by way of an art and poetry contest run by astronaut John Shoffner from the International Space Station. 930 students from 26 countries creatively answered the question, “What would it look like if we lived in space?” The contest was hosted in collaboration with Limitless Space Institute and Crayola Experience. This watercolor and pencil image was created by a six year old artist named Maria Korchagin. We look for great things from Maria.
