Following the success of JCS 2018, this second conference on digital literacy provides a focus on the importance of digital capabilities for schools and sixth form colleges – not just the skills required by staff and students but extending to culture and policies. The programme will again be a mix of keynote speakers, lightning talks and workshops but introducing round-table discussions to increase the opportunities to share ideas and help formulate strategic approaches to take-away.
A further change for 2019 is extending the conference to Saturday lunchtime to enable more sessions, more discussion and more time for networking.
Accommodation is bookable separately.
