Necessary for some, useful for all: The benefits of universal support

Session details & slides

• About the session

  In this panel discussion we're covering a really important topic: how technology can make education better for everyone. Our panel of experienced educators will share the tools they use to help students learn, and how they embed these tools across their whole school to help all students, not just a few. They'll talk about tools like Read&Write and Equatio that can help everyone learn. And finally, they’ll share some really good advice for other teachers who want to increase their use of technology to help students learn.
