XXX SPEAKER PENDING Is Technology a 21st Century Solution for the 21st Century Needs?

We live in an era in which data is supreme and new technologies are constantly being created. This has impacted the way we teach and learn with many online tools being used to enhance or facilitate the learning process. However, considering the diverse profile of learners in schools today, the future of learning goes beyond substituting and improving functionality of classroom material or redesigning tasks through technology.

This panel discussion will focus on the use of technology to:

Aid the learning process, benefiting both the neurodiverse and neurotypical learner.
Select the right metrics and measures to create positive learning experiences that are relevant to the learners’ needs
Use data to identify developmental needs and inform health care plans and individualised education programmes.

The audience will get the opportunity to actively participate and discuss the current SEN challenges within the education sector. Topics include the future of inclusion, current classroom practices and the impact the current system has on both the learners and professionals involved. Together we will explore the role of technology in creating positive learning experiences for all learners; using data to create more efficient and effective teaching; the use of data and technology to facilitate collaboration between professionals working in different departments within SEN.

This vibrant discussion will not only enable participants to meet the diverse range of needs within their educational settings more efficiently and create learning experiences relevant to the learners needs, but will also enable them to access tools and use data in a way that benefits schools, administrators, teachers, other professional bodies and most importantly the learner.
