==Lobbying for technology in schools==
Goddard is an edtech lobbyist in the UK. He is calling, for example, for a 'National EdTech Plan' for England.<ref>'Digital technologies and innovative teaching practices in the classroom: latest thinking and policy options' conference, Westminster Education Forum, 26 April 2016</ref>

He describes the introduction of computing on the national curriculum in England as 'one of the most interesting door openings that we’ve seen for a long time', for school reformers.
