Another 18 schools and colleges have successfully applied to become EdTech demonstrators.
The programme, part of the DfE's edtech strategy, helps providers share good practice on using technology.
In April 2020, the programme became focused on remote teaching and working during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and to allow new applicants to apply for funding.
The successful applicants will help other schools to use technology to support remote learning.
