Anshika Verma - Beyond EdTech: Why Pedagogy Must Lead Technology

​This session explores the critical distinction between EdTech and PedTech, and why that distinction matters for real learning outcomes. Most EdTech platforms digitize existing teaching methods without rethinking pedagogy itself. PedTech flips this: technology is built around how students actually learn, not just how content is delivered. Using Omnix360 as a case study, this talk examines how a pedagogy-first approach to curriculum pacing, assessment, and personalized learning can address outcomes gaps in real classroom settings, and what it takes to design AI-driven education tools that serve teaching methodology rather than replace it.

Anshika Verma is the Co-Founder and CEO of Omnix360, an AI-powered instructional infrastructure company building PedTech, not EdTech, for K-12 schools. She previously founded GrowWise School, a K-12 STEAM enrichment center in Dublin, CA, delivering curriculum-aligned instruction in Math, Coding, English, and AI literacy
