Conference: Next steps for education technology - improving educational outcomes

Conference, by Terry Freedman

There’s a good rota of speakers at this Westminster Forum Conference in April 2019, including Caroline Wright (BESA), Peter Twining (EdFutures) and Geoff Mulgan (Nesta).

Issues looked at and discussed include:

  • Priorities for education technology (apparently there will be a speaker from the Department for Education, which will be a pleasant surprise.

  • Workload.

  • Digital literacy — of teachers.

  • The future.

The full agenda is here (pdf): Agenda, and to book, go here: Book online.

Disclosure: the organisers have kindly given me a press pass to attend the conference, but that is not the reason I’m writing about it. I just think the WF conferences tend to be very good, with a lot of ground covered in just half a day.

My book about how to get the most out of education conferences is available on Amazon:
