One of the largest trade shows in the world<\/a> kicked off this week. In other years, CES has drawn tens of thousands of attendees to Las Vegas to witness the newest developments in consumer technology (182,000 went in 2019). For the first time this week, the conference was all virtual. In past events, education and edtech products have served as little more than an afterthought. CES 2021 isn\u2019t recognizing education or edtech as a product category. But the sector has gained significantly more attention at CES 2021 than it has in past years.<\/p>\n
