Navigating the Changing Educational Landscape

Embracing Education Technology: Navigating Changing Educational Landscape

In today's dynamic educational environment, educators face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. With the rapid advancement of technology, the traditional classroom is undergoing a profound transformation. Education technology has emerged as a powerful tool for educators to enhance teaching and learning experiences, adapt to changing needs, and prepare students for success in the digital age.&nbsp;Tech She Can believes&nbsp; the positive impact implementing new technology can have, and we&nbsp; have partnered with SAAS show this year, to share their resources with our teaching networks, as schools prepare for the 2024/2025 school year.&nbsp;Here are some of SAAS show’s top pieces of information for how to power-up your Ed Tech in your school &amp; Classroom. You can also register HERE for your free Ticket to the Schools And Academies show on the 1st May at the ExCel london.&nbsp; Empowering Educators Through Professional DevelopmentOne of the key benefits of education technology is its ability to empower educators through professional development and training. As the demand for digital literacy and pedagogical skills continues to grow, educators can leverage EdTech resources to enhance their teaching practices, engage students, and foster a culture of lifelong learning. From online courses and webinars to interactive learning platforms, EdTech offers a wealth of opportunities for educators to expand their knowledge and stay abreast of emerging trends in education.Tech She Can offers a range of Free Teacher CPD resources, like our <a href="https://techshecan.org/news/cpd-2">CPD session for Primary School Teachers.</a> Contact our Head of Education and Learning (becky@techshecan.org) if you would like a free CPD session delivered to your school, in person or virtually. &nbsp; Enhancing Learning Experiences Through PersonalisationAnother significant advantage of education technology is its ability to personalise learning experiences for students. With the help of adaptive learning algorithms and data analytics, educators can tailor instruction to meet the individual needs, interests, and learning styles of each student. Whether through interactive multimedia resources, gamified learning platforms, or virtual reality simulations, EdTech enables educators to create immersive and engaging learning environments that inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.Tech She Can believes that by using Children's preferences and interests, you can engage them in new ways to see how you can integrate areas of technology across a wide range of subjects. Check out our free <a href="https://techshecan.org/live-assemblies">Live Lessons and Assemblies covering a range of different subjects here.&nbsp;</a> Prioritising Cybersecurity and Data PrivacyIn an increasingly connected world, cybersecurity and data privacy have become paramount concerns for educators. With the proliferation of online learning platforms, digital assessment tools, and cloud-based resources, safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations are essential priorities. Education technology offers a range of solutions, from secure authentication protocols and encryption technologies to comprehensive cybersecurity training programs, to help educators protect student data and maintain the integrity of their digital learning environments.Cyber security is also important for young people in schools too. If you would like to help your students learn about online safety or cyber security, you can watch our <a href="https://techshecan.org/animated-lessons/cyber-security">Katie and Tex animation here.&nbsp;</a> Driving Innovation and Collaboration Across SectorsEducation technology transcends traditional boundaries, fostering collaboration and innovation across sectors. Whether in not-for-profit organisations, B2B enterprises, or government agencies, EdTech has the potential to revolutionise learning experiences and drive positive change.&nbsp;We’d love for you to chat to us at the Schools and Academies show on the 1st of May - get your free ticket here: <a href="https://www.schoolsandacademiesshow.co.uk/">https://www.schoolsandacademiesshow.co.uk/</a>&nbsp; Unlock the Full Potential of Education TechnologyThe Schools and Academies show have put together a free guide that provides a comprehensive roadmap for educators looking to harness the power of education technology in their practice.

Tech We Can Guest Blog - Ways to Save Time With AI In Education

In my last teaching job, I was really starting to see the potential of technology in lessons. And I don’t just mean smart boards, or I-Pads. Augmented reality meant you could show pupils the surface of Mars. Online parent evenings became a possibility with the help of Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet. But AI took everything to another level.&nbsp;I still remember the first time I’d seen ChatGPT do its thing. Among some of the prompts, I asked the AI to write 10 school mottos, a list of classroom rules, and a haiku about winter.It did all three within seconds. Are they perfect? You can be the judge of that.10 School Mottos﻿<figure contenteditable="false" data-trix-attachment="{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:332,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/1iQx4Mz3XjFFWEW1fNMZ48X0fHUXc6ql-jemPeap9QLecPrwjj99fz3NTq0H1vBpAOq9w6PqXlSf7YzfYC-zJHLNkgIabwESUdj3p1WX9StQ8jON_IzKQzB2aNHtg_3n44jO1uwkaO_WeYfrZnpabQ&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:470}" data-trix-content-type="image" data-trix-id="49442" class="attachment attachment--preview"><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/1iQx4Mz3XjFFWEW1fNMZ48X0fHUXc6ql-jemPeap9QLecPrwjj99fz3NTq0H1vBpAOq9w6PqXlSf7YzfYC-zJHLNkgIabwESUdj3p1WX9StQ8jON_IzKQzB2aNHtg_3n44jO1uwkaO_WeYfrZnpabQ" data-trix-mutable="true" width="470" height="332" data-trix-store-key="imageElement/49442/https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/1iQx4Mz3XjFFWEW1fNMZ48X0fHUXc6ql-jemPeap9QLecPrwjj99fz3NTq0H1vBpAOq9w6PqXlSf7YzfYC-zJHLNkgIabwESUdj3p1WX9StQ8jON_IzKQzB2aNHtg_3n44jO1uwkaO_WeYfrZnpabQ/470/332"><figcaption class="attachment__caption" data-trix-placeholder="Add a caption…"></figcaption></figure>﻿10 Classroom Rules﻿<figure contenteditable="false" data-trix-attachment="{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:350,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/YZ49-gkuYojoJcbs9bCzJDcautuixnPaYf8j_Ii5AayqMWP85-BVyOQDqAov1XgeA9_TtyWVmplCKIGaPc_y6VaY4RthOqowZOH4WlVTbE_F9jS6PHFLtUamy706tWHJwqudBzA4UjeKTCpEc8ZI5Q&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:599}" data-trix-content-type="image" data-trix-id="49477" class="attachment attachment--preview"><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/YZ49-gkuYojoJcbs9bCzJDcautuixnPaYf8j_Ii5AayqMWP85-BVyOQDqAov1XgeA9_TtyWVmplCKIGaPc_y6VaY4RthOqowZOH4WlVTbE_F9jS6PHFLtUamy706tWHJwqudBzA4UjeKTCpEc8ZI5Q" data-trix-mutable="true" width="599" height="350" data-trix-store-key="imageElement/49477/https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/YZ49-gkuYojoJcbs9bCzJDcautuixnPaYf8j_Ii5AayqMWP85-BVyOQDqAov1XgeA9_TtyWVmplCKIGaPc_y6VaY4RthOqowZOH4WlVTbE_F9jS6PHFLtUamy706tWHJwqudBzA4UjeKTCpEc8ZI5Q/589/344"><figcaption class="attachment__caption" data-trix-placeholder="Add a caption…"></figcaption></figure>﻿Winter Haiku﻿<figure contenteditable="false" data-trix-attachment="{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:227,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/boLmstB6TpeQPEDoWH5dRB852bJBbzkAs8WiZINJkwcVdHwYuzwjKEX167BgzvANGTVVEo2VlNxiPQo9ZFRvVmYm6eT4CeoOT5yO5feA7GUR6i9kQ50fiUlPg8CLhMtLGwHlR3PuRum_-ixWboewig&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:294}" data-trix-content-type="image" data-trix-id="49512" class="attachment attachment--preview"><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/boLmstB6TpeQPEDoWH5dRB852bJBbzkAs8WiZINJkwcVdHwYuzwjKEX167BgzvANGTVVEo2VlNxiPQo9ZFRvVmYm6eT4CeoOT5yO5feA7GUR6i9kQ50fiUlPg8CLhMtLGwHlR3PuRum_-ixWboewig" data-trix-mutable="true" width="294" height="227" data-trix-store-key="imageElement/49512/https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/boLmstB6TpeQPEDoWH5dRB852bJBbzkAs8WiZINJkwcVdHwYuzwjKEX167BgzvANGTVVEo2VlNxiPQo9ZFRvVmYm6eT4CeoOT5yO5feA7GUR6i9kQ50fiUlPg8CLhMtLGwHlR3PuRum_-ixWboewig/294/228"><figcaption class="attachment__caption" data-trix-placeholder="Add a caption…"></figcaption></figure>﻿How to use AIYou’d expect the AI software to be complicated. But you can quickly sign up with a Google account and get it working at the click of a button. All you need is a prompt and you’re ready.For example, if you want to create an article on the health benefits of chocolate, or write a script for a year 6 school play, all you need to do is type in the request. And the AI will make something in seconds.Disclaimer: It’s not always perfect. But it’s a brilliant shortcut if you need something for a lesson, and you don’t have time to search the Internet.What AI Tools Can You Use?There have been a myriad of different AI tools cropping up ever since, which claim to be all-singing and all-dancing. And some tools are really specific, from background removers to QR code generators.&nbsp;Most people use the free version of <a href="https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt">ChatGPT</a>. It’s a decent one size fits all. For those working in a school, educational companies, like Twinkl have come up with their own version called <a href="https://www.twinkl.co.uk/ai">Twinkl Ari in their AI Hub</a>.&nbsp;Why Should You Try AI?What AI can and should do is still up for debate. But one thing we can all agree on is that it can save people a lot of time when it comes to more intensive and repetitive tasks.&nbsp;What might take an hour for a person can be completed in half the time with AI. It’s fast. Very fast. And it’s a fantastic tool for teacher admin.Ways AI Can Save Time In EducationAs an educator, I don’t believe AI can do everything. But like me, if you’re wondering how you can make the most of it, here are some ways AI can save you time: 1. Creating Templates - Emails / LettersFor reporting pupil progress, preparing consent forms and beyond, communicating with pupil’s families is a massive part of working in a school. But writing those emails or letters takes up precious time, which usually means a longer day at work.AI can make short work of this, writing templates for your emails and letters.&nbsp; 2. Writing Example Texts For ActivitiesIf you’ve struggled to find examples of articles online without all the heavy advertisements and awkward formatting, or nothing in the textbooks quite fits around your lesson plan, this is a wonderful teacher hack.You can even ask the AI to intentionally make spelling errors in the text for a quick proofreading activity. 3. Produce Summaries and ReportsAI can also be used to speed up your reading and reporting process. If you have a large chunk of text, you can feed it to the AI and ask it for a summary. You can also reverse the process, asking for a report or longer comment based on a single sentence - useful for pupil report writing. 4. Search and FindLike a search engine, AI can scour the web for you and search out answers to your questions. If you need a list of sources on a topic, it can find them in a heartbeat. No more hours spent going through the search results yourself.Is AI Worth It?Overall, AI software should be taken with a pinch of salt. For content creators, media and SEO, it’s rocked the boat substantially. Having blurred the lines of copyright, originality and in some cases, even accuracy, many users proceed with caution when using it to create anything original.On the other hand, with the right building blocks, it can take the biggest tasks and automate them without any hassle. Signing up is easy, and at the moment, a lot of it is free to use.&nbsp;So why not, right?&nbsp;Article installation complete.About the authorThis blog post was written by <a href="https://www.twinkl.co.uk/blog/author/adam-morris">Adam Morris</a> who works as a Content Executive for the <a href="https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resources">KS1 team at Twinkl</a>.

To celebrate Safer Internet Day 2024, we’re launching a brand new live lesson exploring Tech for AI, in collaboration with Accenture.

NEW Live lesson launch 🚀: Tech for AI

We’re excited to be launching the first of our new interactive live lessons on Tech for AI, in collaboration with Accenture. AI is rapidly advancing and this lesson will help students and teachers understand the impact of AI on all aspects of our lives. It will also highlight the many exciting careers and jobs available working with and developing AI. There are two lessons, which you can access using the videos above:&nbsp; Key Stage 2 / P4 - P7 in Scotland (Age 7-11) Key Stage 3 / S1 - S2 in Scotland (Age 11 - 14) &nbsp;During the lesson our experienced teacher delivers a virtual 60 minute interactive session, which includes lots of opportunity for partner talks, tasks, quizzes and videos. Pupils will be guided to complete paper-based tasks and partner discussions - they therefore need to be based at a table with a piece of paper and pen/pencil. This session is being delivered to complement Safer Internet Day 2024. Safer Internet Day takes place in February of each year to raise awareness of a safer and better internet for all, and especially for children and young people. However, it can be used at anytime during the school year as the content is relevant to many parts of the curriculum. Remember to check out our upcoming Live Lessons where you can join thousands of other pupils on Microsoft Teams and enjoy the virtual lessons together: <a href="https://techshecan.org/live-assemblies">Assemblies &amp; Lessons - TechSheCan</a>&nbsp;You can <a href="https://techshecan.org/tech-we-can#subscribe">sign up to our newsletter</a> and follow us on social media for updates on our next session: <a href="https://x.com/Tech_She_Can/status/1715035796674097563?s=20">X/Twitter </a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7120801454092611584">LinkedIn </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TechSheCan/posts/pfbid0Uy1huoEZjaxCkqvYkc8ZR2Cu47cBqBwbZZPGrUS9WMLZThXJpC98FAE2Q8r7QVwQl">Facebook</a>
