Wishing You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from edtech.direct

December 11, 2025 Edtech

As the year draws to a close, all of us at edtech.direct want to extend our warmest wishes to teachers, support staff, school leaders, and everyone working tirelessly to inspire the next generation. 
Your dedication, resilience, and creativity continue to shape classrooms across the UK — and we’re honoured to support you. 

Reflecting on 2025: Innovation, Inclusivity & Empowering Learners 

This year, we’ve seen classrooms become even more dynamic, inclusive, and technology-rich. Teachers have embraced new tools not just to enhance learning, but to remove barriers and give every student a voice. 

At edtech.direct, we’ve been proud to champion solutions that truly make a difference: 

 

IPEVO Classroom Visualisers – Flexible Learning, Made Simple 

From modelling writing techniques to sharing student work live, IPEVO visualisers have continued to be a favourite in UK classrooms. Their simplicity, affordability, and versatility make them a must-have for blended, collaborative, and active learning environments. 

Whether you're demonstrating a science experiment or magnifying a page from a textbook, IPEVO helps bring learning to life — instantly and interactively. 

 

Vurbo.ai – Supporting EAL Students with Smart Language Tools 

Inclusivity has remained a major focus for schools this year, and Vurbo.ai has been a standout tool for teachers supporting EAL learners. 

Using AI-powered speech recognition and pronunciation guidance, Vurbo helps students practise English more confidently and independently. Teachers have told us it not only boosts language progress, but also helps unlock student confidence and participation in the wider classroom community. 

It’s a powerful step toward ensuring every learner — regardless of language background — feels supported and understood. 

 

Andrea & AVID Classroom Headsets – Built for Learning 

A good headset can transform the learning experience, especially in ICT, language development, reading interventions, and SEND support. 

This year, more schools than ever have moved towards Andrea and AVID headsets, designed specifically for the classroom: 

• Durable and tamper-resistant 

• Clear microphone quality for assessment, speech recognition, and online learning 

• Comfortable for long sessions 

• Budget-friendly for whole-school deployment 

From phonics groups to digital testing, high-quality headsets make focused, personalised learning more accessible. 

 

Thank You for an Incredible Year 

To every teacher making magic happen daily — thank you. 
Your passion continues to drive us forward, and we’re excited to bring even more innovative, accessible, and meaningful edtech solutions to your classrooms in the year ahead. 

From all of us at edtech.direct, we wish you a Merry Christmas, a refreshing break, and a Happy New Year filled with inspiration, collaboration, and new possibilities. 

Here’s to 2026 — and to empowering every learner, together.
