Chiltern Learning Trust Technology for Learning

Been a busy week(!) but lovely to celebrate the fantastic work of so many schools and MATs @NSchoolsAwards this evening @UKHouseofLords with @Mr_S_James. Big bonus to also get to see @rondelle10_b @neelamaparmar1 and @PhillipHedger! @CLTech4Learning @DenbighHigh @ChilternLT

The beautiful Denbigh this morning ❤️ I am so thankful 2 the amazing staff, students & governors @DenbighHigh. Our community is exceptional & the wrap around support of @ChilternLT is epic. Felt like a big family. Honoured to serve such aspirational and ambitious children 🙏❤️🙏

Brilliant catch up with the completely inspiring @darcyprior from @ChilternLT on Friday. So many ideas linked to sustainability, Climate Change, digital learning and AI. Now just to find some more hours in a day.

A brilliant day is one spent reading AND using technology 🤩 We loved making digital book reviews of Skellig in Canva. The chn made so many links to texts we have read this term and from LKS2 😊 I then had a lovely time with EYFS chn reading instructions and animating #bestjob

Year 7 had a brilliant time at our Times Tables Interhouse Competition this afternoon. We held a times tables relay race and students also competed against each other on @TTRockStars for those valuable house points! @MissRukshanara

Great post from Sharon at @PearsonSchools highlighting the work we are doing at @ChilternLT @CLTech4Learning Why we’re thoughtfully optimistic about the place of GenAI in education schoolsweek.co.uk/why-were-thoug…

Our #Design4SDGs are in! Thank you @EvoHannan for the excellent sessions. We’ve all really enjoyed working on the entries ⭐️

An absolute pleasure to visit Mr Ram's Music Tech class today @KAKempston- wonderfully engaged & enthusiastic Y11 pupils, all happy to share their work with @Mr_M_Comb, @Iddrisu1Mr and I. Even showing their appreciation for their brilliant teacher with a round of applause!! 👏👏

This week @DenbighHigh we have been using one of our oldest items of technology. From filming students for #Design4SDGs to staff for our Virtual Advent Calendar, our green screen TV Studio has never let us down over 9 years. Invest wisely in your tech - you won’t regret it! 😊

12 months on from the launch of ChatGPT and delighted to see our @DenbighHigh @ChilternLT A.I. Steering Group get a mention in @SchoolsWeek - thank you Sharon Hague and @PearsonSchools! schoolsweek.co.uk/why-were-thoug…

Can you spot our influence on the Cedars Christmas Tree at the church tree festival?

“The developments in AI have been incredible…students need to be taught how to use AI sensibly. I don’t think sitting 20 test papers for GCSEs will be relevant in the next five or 10 years.” Wise words and a great article from @AJRAllModCons @ChilternLT @tes @CLTech4Learning

Why AI is changing Education. Powerful discussion with staff @PutteridgeHSch today about the impact of AI. Thanks to @ICTEvangelist and @Pattybee23 from @Challney_Girls for the Prompt Sheets for Bard and ChatGPT. @CLTech4Learning @darcyprior

Skills development is at the heart of our courses. We empower young people to be active in their learning and engaged in their community so they can create a better future through technology. Read more: appsforgood.info/3SFvRrZ #teacher5oclockclub #teachertwitter #edutwitter

A huge thank you to the brilliant staff from @Google & @NNovakid for supporting our P6 @AppsforGood session this week. Y7 learnt about effective wireframe creation as well as careers in the tech industry - an exceptional opportunity for our students! @ChilternLT @CLTech4Learning

Wow, what a day at the @EdTech_Summit & @SAA_Show! Probably one of my busiest shows ever! Thanks Gemma for the very useful agenda! 👍 Learned a lot from some of the excellent speakers, had some great conversations, met people who I've collaborated with in person & much, much more! But this picture, reflects the power of these events. We've all known each other for years & connected at conferences, but at @EdutechEurope in Amsterdam, after some conversations over tea & coffee, we sparked something truly special that has the power to become hugely inspirational. I am so excited to work with this awesome group and the places this will take us! If you need a reason as to why you should attend these events, this is it right here. It's not about what you see or what you can take back. It's about who you meet & who you can connect with. It's about the people! Always about the people! Grab those opportunities when you can, wherever you can. You don't know what might spark from it! @GwilliamMiss @darcyprior @jonnywathen @jamesmgarnett @garyhenderson18 @PEPDigitalCity @TheANME #EdTechSummit #SAAShow #EdTech #EduTwitter #EduX #Education #Inspiration #PLN 🥰

Also, a great session from @darcyprior - good to hear similar journeys (and headaches) that an EdTech strategy can have. Again, I’d love to visit with @EppingTrust staff!

Thanks for having me #EdTechSummit @SAA_Show - excellent day with lots of learning and the chance to catch up with fantastic colleagues, even if only briefly! Pleasure to finish the day talking about our work @denbighhigh and @ChilternLT with the lovely @imyatt 😊😊😊
