Case study: The dynamic shift to change
In the world of work, skills disruption will require organizations to be much more agile in delivering working and learning experiences that are tailored to the individual needs of their workers.

Day 2

07:30 - 08:30
It’s All About Learning!
• How can we look at technology as a teaching and learning experience, rather than just a technological advancement?
• How teachers can be involved in ways that really improve student hands-on experiences?
• How can we achieve the development of relevance and the advancement of student outcomes?
• How can we assess student outcomes? Summative versus Formative Assessments.
08:30 - 10:00
Developing Autonomous and Collaborative Learning Environments
• Presentation of problems that occur due to EdTech investment by schools.
• Schools often make purchases without really knowing what to do with the technology once they have it.
• Presentation of schools that have over 60 iPads locked away in a cupboard, with no real indication of how they plan to use it.
• Reference to schools that spend thousands of Euros on devices, simply because other schools have them. In this case study we will see that schools don’t need technology for brilliant classrooms, but we do need teachers who understand the value and purpose of it.
• Show that technology it’s something that students will use every day, boosting teachers’ confidence to get involved is essential.
