LGfL – LGfL launch their PedTech Portal

LGfL are proud to launch our NEW PedTech Portal . We have been working with Dr Fiona Aubrey-Smith on this pioneering new project which brings a fresh new focus on pedagogy, supported by technology. We’ve packed it full of bite-sized videos which combine research evidence, thought-leadership and practical examples so that you can make instant changes in your classroom – giving your children an education fit for the globally digital world that we all live in today. We’ve brought together amazing school leaders and phenomenal teachers to show you what great learning looks like when classroom pedagogy is supported meaningfully by technology. We believe the PedTech Portal will contribute to transform how we think about technology in education: moving from EdTech to PedTech. And best of all, it’s totally free for everybody to access. These key questions can be considered the starting point:

• What is my role in relation to the student in front of me?

• What role does the student in front of me believe I have in relation to their learning? • What is possible for the student in front of me if I support them: • What do they need to do to achieve those possibilities? • What can I do to support them in achieving those possibilities? We are extremely grateful to the contributors for their generosity of time and support for the development of this resource and we envision it continuing to grow and evolve. So, join us by putting Pedagogy first, technology second!
