PLENARY: Embracing the change to deliver on digital transformation
Keynotes
LOCATION: THE THEATRE
Technology has promised to change the way we all learn, but the challenge remains one of people and organisations embracing the change. Our schools and learning environments now have greater potential to empower every student to learn at their own pace, in their own way, with insights driving a more personal connection. This session will show how, with the right mindset, technology can underpin personalised and predictive learning environments and empower educators and schools to shift the dynamics of the traditional “school” and “classroom”. The era of automation is winding down…the time for true transformation is upon us.
