Twice a month, I chat to people about an education and/or tech-ed related topic. (Free)

It all began in 2020 with the request to assist teachers coping with lockdown and remote learning.

​

That led to th 12 hour EvolveSchool 🚀Edu-Change Exploration🚀for School Leaders and ALL Teachers, a 🚀 journey of 👀 discovery on 27 Aug 2020, 09:00 to 21:00, in our educational virtual 😷 conference. Free all day hop in and out virtual conference for school leaders and teachers.  Every 20min slot introduced different educational tech corporates, mainly South African,  interspersed with amazing edutech teachers, sharing ways in which they are used technology.

This workshop takes the school leadership through a series of key pillars to impact change management, related to using digital tools. Exploring:

Investigate how all these pillars assist in creating effective change management within a school, with the value of incorporating digital tools into a school.

I would love to speak at your school to engage with your staff at the start of a new term, be a keynote speaker at an event you're hosting and talk about education, impacting positive change and the impact of remote learning and educational change.
