The conference, which takes place on March 27-28 at the De Vere East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham, will discuss key topics such as school improvement and raising standards, meeting technical challenges and e-twinning.
Alongside the keynote sessions, and Naace Impact Awards presentations, you’ll be able to network at their NaaceShare – their brand new ‘teachmeet-style’ event and discover top new products at their exhibition.
The conference will discuss:
✥ Is outstanding teaching possible without good use of technology?
✥ What does a school need to put in place to enable all the teachers to be outstanding?
✥ Is the ‘flipping’ of learning something every school should be working on, enabling pupils to extend learning and time in school to be used more productively?
✥ Does proper demonstration of progression and achievement require online access to pupils’ work and teachers’ records?
✥ How can schools best capitalise on the communication, collaboration and access to learning opened up by the internet?
To complement their keynote speakers, Naace have got an excellent range of breakout sessions, including:
✥ iPads for learning – the planning, pitfalls and processes and 18 months of 1:1 use, the impact and what to do next.
✥ How to be prepared for the 2014 computer curriculum.
✥ Safe and responsible use: current e-safety and going beyond e-safety.
