EdTech Summit Event

You can watch all the presentations from the 2023 Inaugural EdTech Summit event hosted at Samsung KX. Featuring inspirational sessions on AI in education, Inclusive approaches to technology use, effective digital strategies and the latest research on the impact of effective technology use.

Below is a montage video of the EdTech Hub Summit event and where to find out more information in general about EdTech Hubs:

TeachMateAI Pilot

We are excited by the TeachMateAI pilot and it seems so are you! We had over 90 schools registering their interest in the pilot; the successful 20 schools (10 primaries, 6 secondaries and 4 SEND schools) have been contacted and will attend the online launch event at the end of January.

We cannot wait to get ongoing feedback regarding workload reduction, curriculum and lesson planning and other content-creation from the teaching staff during the pilot. The InspirED Team have already been diving into the TeachMateAI ProPlan and can see how much time it will save busy teachers and teaching staff!

Quick Bites

ReadingZone Bookclub

The ReadingZone Bookclub events are open to schools and classrooms, and are free to join!

Watch recordings of previous events at rzl.lgfl.net.

Premium Resource Logins

To log in to these award-winning platforms (both in school and from home) we are encouraging eligible* schools to migrate away from USO logins! * Please note that only Primary and SEND schools are eligible for Busy Things and j2e tool suite licences.

Micro:Bit Next Gen

Last chance to register for micro:bit next gen registration! The deadline is  18^th December.

They are currently at 84% of all UK primary schools registered and 76% of London schools, so want to give it a final push.
