Edtech, short for education technology, is a term that has been used in schools and on the education scene for a number of years. Schools are using edtech to find solutions to everything from easing administrative tasks (timetabling, scheduling, class management) and streamlining the home learning process (with online homework management software) to revolutionising how children engage with home learning by using gamification as a reward for completing tasks

The gamification of learning is an approach used to engage students through the use of video game and game elements in educational environments, such as the class room, but has now been extended to home learning through homework management software that uses gameplay.
