AI is the hot topic on everyone's mind at the moment, and with the DfE recently releasing guidance on the usage of generative AI in education, it's important to stay up-to-date and informed.

➡️ At the upcoming LearnED: Education in Action conferences, the topic of AI will be central to keynote speaker Al Kingsley's session on the importance of establishing a robust digital strategy and a flexible digital infrastructure that can seamlessly accommodate your growth aspirations.

A number of exhibitors will also be demonstrating their tech and AI solutions as part of the LearnED Professional Development Masterclasses.

➡️ Join Century for a session on tech-advanced learning. Examine the role of technology in live learning through real world school and MAT case studies. Identify interventions, misconception patterns, and real-time study details integrated into a Markbook. Learn how AI can tailor personalised, bite-sized lessons for each student.

➡️ Boost engagement with digital tools during a demonstration from NetSupport. This session imparts strategies for fostering an engaged classroom and offers guidance on selecting and employing EdTech to enhance digital classroom management, fostering improved outcomes for all.
