Digital Schoolhouse

Want to rebuild your classroom toolkit from the circuit boards up?

Teaching with technology gives students the skills they need to thrive in a digital age, and gives them the opportunity to further develop their own interpersonal and communication skills. Technology is evolving, and so are you. The Playful Computing Conference is a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills, listen to experts and connect with fellow teachers.

For a limited time, we are offering 2-4-1 tickets for our Playful Computing Conference on 26th June in London. We’d love to see you there:

Playful Computing Conference 2026 Computing: Recharged Find your best teaching self with classroom-ready content, your choice of talks, and space to breathe and grow as educators.

We turn pupils playing into progressive policy.

On Tuesday, while the children were enjoying the Festival of Play Dundee, alongside Gabriella Castaneda from Interactive Entertainment Scotland, Shahneila Saeed was delighted to host a roundtable on Supercharging Scottish Skills.

We gathered representatives from the games industry, the Scottish government and Scottish education to discuss where the skill gaps are, what can be done to fill them and how Scotland can keep its hard-earned place at the forefront of an £8.6bn industry.

We want to help the next generation get from classrooms to boardrooms and beyond, one digital skill at a time.

The Festival of Play Dundee is here!

We are delighted to be bringing creative computing workshops to the pupils of Scotland.

Local companies talking to children about their careers and showing what they do.

Innovative lessons showing children how computer games can teach the computing skills they need.

All thanks to EA - Electronic Arts and Abertay University .

For five years, our Festival of Play with EA - Electronic Arts has done more than just show children Computing can be fun. It has shown them that people like them make the games they love.

As Shahneila Saeed says, if children can see it, they can be it, and at the Festival of Play they can see themselves being the gamemakers of tomorrow.

Skills, careers and joy – that’s the Festival of Play in a nutshell.

19th Century Building, 21st Century thinking.

Digital Schoolhouse was delighted to head to Parliament yesterday for the launch of Internet Matters report about the online lives of children with additional needs.

We believe that every child deserves a digital future, and welcome conversations that lead to a safe and rich online life for all children.
