The Symposium
You’ll hear first-hand, from educators and educational technologists, about how you can harness available powerful teaching tools to both improve classroom performance and reduce ICT costs.
This event is essential for any educationalist with an interest in the Digital Competence Framework.
- Teachers – Learn from educators how to deliver both comprehensive and engaging computing lessons, without in-depth technical knowledge. You will also explore a new learning environment that is improving student attainment, enabling students to access information almost anywhere, safely, and enabling them to learn new skills in collaborative working.
- Members of SLTs - you will be able to examine how you can improve classroom performance, ease class and school administration, and enhance student/school security, whilst simultaneously reducing IT costs.
- ICT Coordinators – You will discover how available technology is making schools compliant with Safeguarding legislation whilst eliminating mundane maintenance tasks.
Places are limited and expected to be booked up fast, so please register as early as possible.
