First approach in a digital landscape

What can we learn from research about high impact uses of digital technology in schools? Where should we be focusing our energy and attention? What’s happening in schools today and what is the direction of travel? This session will offer you a combination of research findings, insights and inspiration - surfacing some big ideas and challenging provocations, alongside very practical next steps and takeaways.

The itslearning Roadmap

As teaching and learning needs evolve, so does our platform. This roadmap session will highlight the directions we’re investing in at itslearning, based on customer feedback, research, and the realities of modern education. Though a few initiatives remain under wraps for now, we’ll share the themes and improvements you can expect as we continue building a more intuitive, powerful learning environment.

A Survival Guide

Everyone in education technology knows the pattern: bold policies and district plans, but a very different reality in the classroom. Why is the gap so wide?

This session shares new research exploring how national digital plans, district strategies, and school leadership interact. Interviews and document analysis reveal a consistent finding: digital strategies rarely fail due to people, but because the system makes implementation hard.

Pedagogical Advisor, itslearning

Lessons from Implementing a Learning Management System

What does it take to transform a digital vision into the daily reality of classrooms, teachers, and students? Drawing on over a decade of experience with itslearning at ecolea | International School Schwerin, this keynote will explore the role of a Learning Management System (LMS) as both an anchor and a practical tool for school development — creating transparency, fostering participation, and enabling personalised learning.

You’ll hear practical insights on engaging teachers, building trust, and embedding digital tools into school culture, alongside candid reflections on challenges and solutions.
