LearnED training event for headteachers and ICT leads

LearnED in Newcastle is an educational technology conference designed to make a positive impact for schools, led by The British Educational Suppliers Association, (BESA), in conjunction with the Department for Education (DfE).

The conference has been carefully programmed to cater for those who attended the first event, and those who haven’t attended before.

"The show helped to reignite my passion for using technology to support teaching and learning and left me with practical advice to support my work back at school."

C. Crowther, Digital Lead
