EdTech Demonstrator School
The EdTech Demonstrator Programme was developed by the Department for Education to ensure schools and colleges across England could access free, expert advice on educational technology. The programme launched shortly before the Covid19 pandemic and offers schools and colleges support in making effective use of technology to enhance teaching and learning.
As an EdTech Demonstrator School, we are able to offer the following workshops free of charge to any school that wishes to participate.
Join us for a mini lunchtime webinar, perfect to fit into your lunch break.
Recordings will be available after the event in case you are not able to make it (we know that we can’t plan for everything!).
These sessions are perfect for people who want a good introduction to the topic or for teachers who have recently moved to a Microsoft school. Please make sure you sign up to each event that you would like to attend as they each have unique booking links. These webinars are hosted and run by Paul Schalker from La Sainte Union School. Paul joined LSU in 2009 and has had several roles ranging from Head of Computer Science, E-safety officer, Digital Strategy lead and EdTech Demonstrator lead.
This event is being supported by the DfE’s EdTech Programme. You can sign your school up for free support using this link: EDTECH Demonstrator Programme (ucst.uk). Signing up to the full programme is optional and you will still be able to book onto the webinars below without being signed up.
