Educating Yorkshire headteacher announced as the Education Technology 2015 conference keynote speaker
Webanywhere are very proud to announce that their 2015 Education Technology Conference on the 23rd of June will feature a keynote from renowned headteacher and star of the BAFTA-award-winning series Educating Yorkshire Jonny Mitchell.
Mr Mitchell will be delivering a speech on the topic of “Ethos in Education” at the Hilton Leeds City at 10am on June 23rd, to an audience of teachers and educational professionals from across the UK.
Speaking to Webanywhere, Mr Mitchell says: “I firmly believe in total inclusion for students. As a result, I walked into my first school as a Head and began the task of revamping the values which underpinned education, scrapping valueless qualifications which I felt were there simply to boost valued added, and defining the expectations required of teachers and support staff in the school.”
As the UK’s largest Moodle partner and one of the largest providers of school websites, Webanywhere are well-placed to be hosting this conference. The company, based in the centre of Leeds, has been at the forefront of e-learning developments in the UK for over twelve years, and is putting on the Education Technology 2015 conference as a way to bring professionals and educators together with the common aim of promoting education technology.
Webanywhere CEO Sean Gilligan said that it is “an immense pleasure to be playing host to this conference - I’m very excited about the direction that e-learning is taking at the moment, and we’re keen to be a part of that and help to shape its future. With the rise of web-based learning and tablet computers, there’s never been a better time to bring this conference to the heart of Leeds.”
Microsoft and Planet Sherston and our own "Mr Moodle" Ben Wagner have also been confirmed as speakers.
The Education Technology Conference 2015 will be taking place from 9am to 5pm on June 23 at the Hilton Leeds City. Entry is free and includes admission to all talks and seminars as well as a two-course lunch and refreshments throughout the day. to register visit: www.educationtechnology2015.co.uk
