All of the reasons to attend that I’ve suggested in 21 reasons to attend conferences are valid, but they are personal, in a sense. So here are 9 suggested arguments that may appeal to your senior leadership team.

I borrowed this book from the library yesterday and have had to stop reading it.

While it's fashionable to decry the use of computer labs, still they continue to exist in many schools. If you have, or are thinking of having, a computer lab, what ought it to look like? What should it contain?

Even the most technophobic adults can be persuaded to engage with their child’s IT studies.

I keep seeing blog articles and guides about using AI in education, and they mostly seem to be a form of painting by numbers.

There is little doubt that youngsters tend to be very quick at picking things up when it comes to technology, and are just as keen to pass on their knowledge to others.

As a source of potential ideas and inspiration, the book could be very useful indeed.

Is a 2014 book on managing the computing provision in a school still worth buying?

I’ve created a special area of the Digital Educatioon Supplement, which is an online supplement to my newsletter, Digital Education.

Cloud services have their place, but schools should still think carefully about how they can keep the media they produce safe, secure and on-site.

You might think an author visit wouldn’t be of much use in a subject like Computing, but you’d be mistaken.

Sometimes (often), 'good enough' is better than 'ideal'. Yes, it sounds paradoxical, and counterintuitive, but sometimes even the presumed ‘ideal’ is not, erm, ideal.

I’ve just published a couple of documents in the Digital Education Supplement. This is a collection of free resources for subscribers to my newsletter, Digital Education, which is also free.

This is a serious question. What is the point of teaching kids computer programming, when AI can do all the hard work?

We don’t have very long to wait before the educational AI projects funded by the Department for Education are unveiled, if all goes to plan. But I have some concerns.

The Computing curriculum report from Kings College makes some great recommendations for fixing the failures of the current curriculum.

A few months ago I attended a Westminster Education Forum about the use of AI in Education. I spent quite some time going through the transcript and making notes, but then I thought: why not use AI to do the work?

This guide was first made available to subscribers to Digital Education, my free newsletter.

I want to be able to have as much access to technology when I'm in a school as what I enjoy in my own home. I don't think that is too much to ask, but maybe that's me.

When I worked as a Technology Coordinator, a large part of my job was to encourage teachers in all subjects to make use of educational technology in their lessons and, even better, to build it into their schemes of work. It was something of an uphill struggle sometimes...

FREEBIE! Having been going through my files and digitising them, I came across this little booklet I created back in 2005.

The way some people describe Computing makes it sound (let's be honest here) dead boring. The subject gets reduced, in effect, to 'coding'.

Most people would agree that collaboration is a good thing – so how can we collaborate more effectively in school settings?
