Steve Smith
Education Program Manager at Google Aotearoa

When we look at what is available to our schools it is far more than an operating system and a word processor, there is a whole constellation of tools available to Kaiako and Ākonga in the Google ecosystem From early learners to school leavers and into tertiary education there is a vast array of tools available for learning. Be that for the curriculum, work ready skills and industry standard courses it’s all here for you.
Steve will take us on a journey through the Google Ecosystem of tools or ‘the Constellation’ of Google tools.

While many of Microsoft’s education solutions work on any device, the best experience comes together on Windows PCs . Now with a reimagined Windows 11, we offer more performance, choice and flexibility for students and teachers than ever before on devices that are cloud-enhanced, not cloud-dependent. Going beyond devices, we are evolving our education solutions to support more engaging, collaborative and accessible tools to help schools accelerate learning at this critical moment.

Technology is everywhere. It has become the backbone of every industry and it is changing how companies do business and how employees work. This is an important moment for schools. Today’s technology can make life, work, and learning better and easier. And the best technology supports teaching and learning in some significant ways – it can engage learners, connect students to a world of resources and experiences, and amplifies their potential.

This session invites leaders to reflect on what is the role of technology in learning and what new opportunities can we offer students to help them learn, to grow new skills, and ultimately create a better world.
