Technology now plays an essential role in all areas of education, not least in how we approach and deliver teaching and learning in the classroom.

It’s often down to busy IT teams to plan, implement, manage and maintain this infrastructure – are we to expect IT teams to be ‘experts in everything’ though?

For example, do IT colleagues understand how our pupils use their devices for adaptive learning, in order to make the right procurement choices? How can the technology we manage and maintain be used to support SEND provision? What impact does our management of files in the cloud have on how teachers manage their lesson resources and time?
Join us for what’s sure to be a fascinating exploration into how the essential work IT teams do, ultimately supports student success – or sometimes not!

Starting with insights from best-selling author, founder of PedTech and independent researcher Dr Fiona Aubrey Smith, hear some ideas and advice in the discussion between Dave Leonard, Strategic IT Director and ANME Ambassador, and Christine Mayers, Head of Education & Training at Elementary Technology.
Questions from IT professionals and ANME members invited in advance!

And as you may expect, homework is to be provided! Ideas and activities on how as an IT professional, you can aim to be even more effective when building the foundations of student success.
