The future of technology in education, a debate at SIMO EDUCACIÓN'S Directors’ Day

In the framework of SIMO EDUCACIÓN, organised by IFEMA MADRID in collaboration with EDUCACIÓN 3.0 from 19 to 21 November, the new edition of Directors’ Day will be on the subject of ‘The role of leaders in education, crucial in times of AI’.

Directors’ Day, with support from Google for Education, will take place on 20 November. It will be the benchmark forum for leaders in education wanting to transform their schools and colleges through innovation, addressing technology trends in the educational area and the keys to making use of these tools to contribute real value to Boards of Education, teaching staff and students.

Following an institutional welcome from Gonzalo Romero and Esperanza Romero, the director of the Sadako School, in his presentation ‘Leading to Transform, Transforming to Lead’, Jordi Musons will address the role of management teams in pedagogical sustainability and the importance of ensuring that change implementation strategies guarantee synchrony in the vision of the educational project and empower the teaching community in innovation processes.

Meanwhile, Mar Camacho, a senior lecturer at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, will give a talk entitled ‘Educational Leadership in the Age of AI: Challenges and Opportunities for Tomorrow’s Leaders’, analysing how AI is transforming leadership in educational institutions, providing new options to optimise management and strategic decision-making, as well as the essential skills educational leaders must possess to leverage this new technology.

Following the networking break, Mariano Salas will analyse how Google for Education tools can assist educational leaders, highlighting a wide range of solutions such as optimising institutional management, facilitating collaboration, data-driven decision-making, promoting educational innovation, improving communication, and continuous training for educators, all within a robust security and privacy framework.

Finally, Dr Fiona Aubrey-Smith will analyse in ‘What contemporary research tells us about high digital impact in schools’ the results of the latest studies on the use of digital technology in teaching and learning, providing attendees with practical conclusions to implement with teaching staff and students.

Directors' Day is part of a comprehensive line-up of presentations, workshops, and round table discussions that make the tenth edition of SIMO EDUCACIÓN a meeting place for knowledge regarding the present and future of EdTech and a key platform for all professionals who wish to contribute to the proper advancement of technological innovation in the educational field.
