As Artificial Intelligence transforms the education sector, schools must ensure their digital strategy is sustainable, adaptable, and prepared for the future. This talk delves into the Four Pillars of Digital Strategy—Governance, Safeguarding, Pedagogy, and Innovation—a framework developed through years of research and implementation, as outlined in her book, The Digital Ecosystem, published by John Catt for Hachette Learning. By striking a balance between regulation and innovation, schools can create safe, effective, and forward-thinking learning environments. Through practical examples and real-world insights, this session will challenge conventional approaches and demonstrate how a strategic, pillar-based approach empowers schools to responsibly harness AI, drive meaningful change, and build a resilient digital future.
