growing availability of edtech products and solutions, Rose will emphasise the importance of an evidence base to demonstrate how technology is improving learning. In order to make the most of new tech, educators will need to approach innovation holistically. In practice this means recognizing that motivation and purpose are key drivers for learners – this will be key to getting the most out of edtech. As such, some of the onus will fall on developers to be aware of how people learn. The session will involve practical approaches to integrating new tech successfully.
Lenovo will bring together a panel focused on the future of VR for school trips. Participating in the panel will be: Helen Skelton, Television Presenter, BBC; Molly Zielezinski, Founder and Creative Director, MBZ Labs; Rich Henderson, Director Global Education Solutions, Lenovo; Paul Khan, Deputy Director of Education and Visitors, National Museums Liverpool; and Rob Rayner, Teacher and Project Manager. Through specific examples, this session will
shed light on how The VR Schools Project is allowing pupils to develop creativity, collaboration and critical thinking – namely, how a Leicestershire school was able to turn a museum trip into a chance for pupils to capture, edit and develop their own VR content. The panel will also discuss how technology can drive engagement and can be incorporated across the curriculum.
Discovery Education will be hosting a session around empowering your students to become critical consumers of the news. Panelists include Charlene White, Journalist and Presenter at ITN; Josh Phillips, Education Associate at the Institute of Strategic Dialogue; and Steph Neale, Headteacher at Beatrix Potter Primary School. In the current climate of disinformation online,
students of all ages must be informed not only about the wider world, but also the awareness of how to distinguish fact from opinion. Discovery Education, in partnership with ITN Productions and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, will examine ways to help students engage critically with the media they consumer. The session will showcase a range of tools that build students’ confidence in analysing and discussing news, so that they can be safe online.
Adobe and the Royal Shakespeare Company will be presenting a panel on giving creativity a starring role when the classroom is centre stage. The panel will bring together Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor at the University of Buckingham, and Mala Sharma, Vice-President of Creative Cloud at Adobe Inc.

January,
In the high-tech future economy, creativity will
be key to students’ success. Soft skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, self-belief and critical thinking will rise in value over time. If we are to face the future head on, we will need to ensure these skills are fully embedded within the curriculum. Creativity can be built into all subjects at all levels of study, and this can have a huge impact on students’ learning and self- confidence. This lively session will involve theatre and craft.
Paul Watkins, Leader of Digital Learning, Ysgol Bae Baglan in Wales, will be holding a session on digital tools to help amplify students’ voices. He will be joined by Kathi Kersznowski, Technology Integration Specialist, Washington Township Public Schools, USA. The two educators will talk about the impact
that tools like Flipgrid and Skype have had on teaching and learning. They will emphasise how these technologies provide a platform for the development of learners’ confidence. New tech can help capture students’ thought processes, opinions, and voice, as well as develop the language and reading skills. Verbal skills will be highly prized in future, and making young people’s voices heard is a life skill that will empower connected, empathetic and global communication in tomorrow’s world.
Day 3 Peter H. Reynolds, author, Illustrator & Founder, FableVision Learning will present a session on creativity in the classroom. This talk will inspire teachers to pick up the gauntlet and respond to the challenges of the future – even if this means one teacher at a time. He will challenge every educator to create bravely, by sharing how teachers, librarians and students around the world have put their ideas into action and made a difference to their students lives – as well as their own.
Maggie Aderin-Pocock, space scientist, broadcaster and author will speak on the topic of understanding dyslexia and recognising the minds

of the future. Given the role of dyslexic thinking in making some of the greatest inventions in world history, there is still a lack of understanding dyslexia. Maggie will be joined by Kate Griggs, Founder & CEO of Made by Dyslexia, whose research with EY has found compelling evidence of the value dyslexic thinking can provide in the future. Richard Branson will also join in the discussion around the research and explore its impact on education.
Ingvild Vikingsen, deputy principal, Knappskog School in Norway will offer insights into educational purpose and balance to produce deep diving students, fully equipped for life after school. Digital tools provide many opportunities to turn around teaching strategies in the classroom. But digitisation itself doesn’t produce results without focusing on pupils’ learning and motivation. The concept of backwards planning will also be discussed, encouraging thinking outside the box to present classwork in a new way.
Bill Rankin, Director of Learning & Research, Pi-Top will deliver a session on how Quantum Mechanics can reveal the hidden future of education. His session will bring together pedagogy and physics. He will touch on how classrooms have come to be cloistered, controlled environments that overlook the tangled web of learning that our minds develop. The isolated and linear nature of teaching has been disrupted by new technologies which reshape the way learners connect with information and others around them. Bill’s session will equate the challenges faced by teachers in an era of disruption to established pedagogy to challenges faced by physicists over a hundred years ago. With humour and a jargon-free approach, this talk will present ways to reimagine learning and create a new pathway in education.
