Spotify is a popular music streaming service with millions of users around the world. If you’re an avid Spotify user, you might want to set it as your default music app on your computer or mobile device.

5. Check the box next to “Open Spotify automatically after you log into the computer.”

6. Check the box next to “Show desktop overlay when using media keys.”

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
