EY’s Value of Dyslexia report found that dyslexics have exactly the skills needed for this new world of work. Intelligence Agencies have long embraced dyslexic thinking, and businesses globally are now recognising dyslexia as a valuable skill set. Education urgently needs to catch up because the traditional focus on measurement and conformity is disadvantaging dyslexic students. It’s time for change.

O N E H U N D R E D L A N G U A G E S Computers surround us in our daily lives but the most powerful ideas of computing go beyond the sleek silver containers and glowing boxes. What are these ideas? And how do we prepare our kids for a world where more and more of the problems around us look like computers? Computer science is about humans and their big ideas. Educators will walk away with understanding and practical resources for classrooms on the following questions:

• What else is there to technology education than “Learn to code”?

• What do Japanese, middle-eastern and Nordic parents have in common when it comes to raising digital natives?

• If computer code is the Lego block of our time — a tool of creation — how do we teach curiosity, joy, and wonder to our kids?

As a result, we need to differentiate between schooling i.e. children being taught and education i.e. experiences and learning by doing. We must purposefully connect these two aspects for children to make sense of the world and find curiosity, inspiration and aspiration. We also must address the question: who are the teachers? This session will address these issues and suggested ways forward.

The ‘business case’ for technology investment in schools isn’t just about saving time and money, it needs to show how learning is enabled and working practices simplified. Additionally, it can’t forget the importance of support and training required for staff (and students) — habits and attitudes have to change. In this presentation, James will use real school examples to illustrate the five key steps in developing an EdTech strategy. If you want technology to work for you rather than making you work more, come to this session.

As effective communication is not only essential to learning, but also everyday life, helping learners deal with such challenges is possibly the most fundamental way in which school staff can support them. The role of technology in that essential work is very broad, from literally giving a voice to those who might not otherwise speak, to providing a stimulus or model in the classroom, to enabling rehearsal in a safe, neutral, environment. Without effective communication many learners will struggle in the classroom. Without technology many interventions would not be possible. This seminar explores the wide range of opportunities and possibilities it provides.

Modern technology means that schools are now able to offer a multi-channel communication solution, not just within their administration, but to the wider student community. NFON have successfully deployed their solution into the education and wider public sector and will be presenting case studies discussing the ways cloud telephony and unified communications can benefit you and help you to maximise efficiency, productivity, communication and budgets.

But how can we expect students to decide on a career path when they are disengaged with the advice they are receiving at school? Evidence proves that students who are able to link the importance of subjects to their own future goals are much more engaged overall. With improvements in attendance, test scores, and aspirations in mind and with guidance from the students themselves, we created Xello — an engaging online programme that builds self-knowledge, personalised plans, and critical life skills. Easily prepare your secondary school students for future success and watch the positive ripple effect across your school.

It forecasts that only 1 in 10 are likely to achieve GCSE passes in English and Maths unless we do something different. This session explores how inclusive digital technology within a Universal Design for Learning approach can help learners to access the curriculum more independently and effectively. We will find out how to source textbooks and create learning materials in digital formats, and how learners can access these resources using free, readily available tools at school and at home. With the expectation that this will enable students to learn and achieve more effectively, the session will also look at how (hopefully more than 1 in 10) learners can use technology in GCSE examinations.

Everyone – from parents to governors, teachers to school leaders, IT managers to policy makers, and of course learners – wants to know why to bother with educational technology. It undoubtedly makes our lives more complex, whilst not always enabling us to see how it is having a positive impact. This session will unlock the mysteries of the evidence base for EdTech, highlighting why it is so challenging to answer that billion dollar question and provide some practical tools to help us all make more discerning decisions about what EdTech to use, when, how, and why. Along the way, insights will be shared of how some of the UCL EDUCATE companies have taken responsibility for such research, and by doing so earned their coveted EdWards.

The panel will question whether these factors affect women coming into tech professions. The panel will offer tips about what employers can do to dispel the myth that women should be a certain ‘type’ to work in EdTech and how to be proactive in encouraging more women into the industry. Women in EdTech is about profiling the role of women within educational technology. It shines a positive light on the impact that technology can have to enable leaders to effectively fulfil their role and encourage more leaders to adopt an appropriate technology enabled style of leadership. Their mission is to build connections and upskill educators, create new opportunities in educational technology, and build connections that can lead to better schools. They aim to create an empowered community and to increase the capacity of women in technology.

Senior leaders need to recognise the isolation of the IT department and the lack of empathy and understanding between both sides that can lead to the undermining of the key structures across the school. IT underpins the effective running of pretty much every aspect of a school’s day to day functioning, from teaching and learning to admin and finance and online safety and communication with parents. This session will show you how to create the right conditions to get everyone pulling in the same direction, having strong relationships across departments, and producing the right conditions for success.

We offer an exciting fast track to the technologies most likely to offer impactful self-directed professional learning. We will start with an overview of key CPD strands available at the Bett show, highlighting the possibilities afforded by generic types of technology, before plotting a thematic route through a selection of products and services that provide CPD opportunities including micro-learning through video tutorials, developing communities of practice through social media and the use of EdTech both inside and outside of the classroom. Other findings relate to web-enabled video technology to build professional capital through reflective practice, coaching and collaboration and e-portfolios for initial teacher education that helps teachers to identify and address developmental needs, whilst helping course providers to support and monitor their progress. This seminar will be followed immediately by a 45 minute guided Bett 2020 safari to discuss the opportunities with the relevant EdTech companies.

While some MATs are able to recruit high quality and experienced LGBs, for others this can be a real issue. Lack of expertise on boards and a lack of clear structure and communication between trust and local boards can lead to poor financial management amongst other challenges.

This has become particularly important as we see a rise in more schools adopting one student to one device policies and BYOD, coupled with the growing trend of schools offering personalised learning. With so many digital tools at their disposal, how can we help Generation Z students achieve success using tools that best suit their individual style of learning? The Agency, an innovative global community with over 100 teacher agents, was created to provide tools for educators so they can support student agency for every child.
