What if knowing wasn’t the goal—but learning was?

What if teachers were not just users of EdTech, but co-designers of it?

That’s exactly what happened during the EdTech Teacher Co-Creation Sprint this year.

Using the EdTech for Good Framework, teachers reflected deeply on their own classrooms — and identified what truly makes EdTech meaningful, safe, and inclusive for African learners.

They explored:
🌍 Safety and data protection
🌍 Offline-first access and device-friendly design
🌍 Tools that reflect our cultures and languages
🌍 Inclusion for learners with disabilities
🌍 The power of learner curiosity, creativity, and co-creation
🌍 The need for simple, accessible tools that work anywhere

The biggest insight?

Teachers are not passive tool users.
They are innovators, protectors, and cultural shapers of EdTech.

They know what learners need.
They know what’s missing.
And their voice must guide the EdTech being built for African classrooms.

If you care about teacher-led innovation, swipe through the carousel and join us in championing EdTech that truly works for everyone.

Every transformation begins with reflection.

In the just-concluded EdTech Teachers Co-Creation Sprint, 40 teachers from across Kenya used the Teacher Reflection Tree Tool to explore their growth — identifying their roots (supports), branches (aspirations), and fruits (successes).

Their reflections were deeply inspiring:
💬 “I’m letting go of fear and the idea that every lesson must use tech.”
💬 “I grow best when I focus on a few meaningful tools.”
💬 “True success comes when students feel empowered to take charge of their own learning.”

We’re excited to share this tool with all educators — for personal reflection, staffroom conversations, or school-based learning circles.

Huge thanks to all the incredible teachers who brought this to life, to EdTech East Africa for co-leading the sprint, and to Recipes for Wellbeing for inspiring the design of this reflective experience.

Spotlight: Marita Adhiambo — Championing Teacher-Led Innovation in Kenya

In our 8-week EdTech Teachers Co-Creation Sprint, we had the privilege of journeying with educators who are redefining what teacher-led innovation looks like in Kenya. Among them was Marita Adhiambo from Dignitas Project — a mentor, thinker, and passionate advocate for teacher growth.

Marita joined the sprint not just as a participant, but as a learning partner and catalyst — helping teachers move from identifying their professional development challenges to designing real, human-centered EdTech solutions grounded in classroom realities.

Her ability to blend empathy, clarity, and systems thinking reminded us that innovation in education begins with trust in teachers’ capacity to lead change.

Thank you, Marita, for guiding this process and inspiring us all.

Reflection from the EdTech Teachers Co-Creation Sprint

“How do we know when technology truly adds value — beyond substitution?”

Teacher Wycliff explored this question by adapting a Zeraki learning lesson. His students were so excited to use a computer in class that they promised to log in from home to keep learning!

Moments like this remind us why the EdTech Teachers Co-Creation Sprint with EdTech East Africa is important — to help teachers test small, meaningful innovations in their own classrooms, using tools that work in their real contexts.

We believe in teacher-led, resource-light innovation — where every experiment, no matter how small, brings us closer to transforming learning for all.

Happy World Teachers’ Day 2025!

We celebrate all teachers for the incredible role you play in shaping lives and inspiring futures.

A special salute to the educators in our 8-week EdTech Co-Creation Sprint — your courage to test, create, and co-design solutions is a powerful reminder that teachers are not just implementers, but innovators and leaders of change. Thank you EdTech East Africa.

Here’s to every teacher making a difference every day.
