The Jigsaw24 EdTech Podcast

Whilst technology in early years foundation stage (EYFS) can be faced with misconceptions and adversity, ADE and early years educator, Marc Faulder explains why it should be seen as empowering for children and educators. Marc sheds light on the positive outcomes that can arise when Apple technology is thoughtfully integrated into early learning environments and how sometimes the most overlooked apps have the greatest potential for creativity!

We are also joined by Natalie Pickard, Head of School at Burton Joyce Primary School, who discusses the profound advantages of introducing children to digital tools early in their educational journey.

Matt Warne, the Head of Computing and Digital Technology at RGS The Grange walks us through their journey to adopt a digital culture within their school. We deep dive on how Apple has been adopted in their school and how to create a culture of digital champions with young digital leaders. Matt's insights are fascinating for anyone looking to adopt technology in the classroom!

As an AAES, we understand how by integrating Apple technology into the classroom, schools can improve student engagement, collaboration and critical thinking skills, while also preparing students for the digital world they will encounter in their future careers.

During Jamf Nation Live, we managed to get some time with Mat and Aaron amongst their busy schedule to get their thoughts on Jamf for Education and how educators can best utilise the software in their schools.

We sit down with outstanding Educational leaders, Jenny Hinton from Parkdale Primary School, Ben Hendley from Parkgate Primary School and Kirsty from Windsor Academy Trust to discuss how technology is making an impact on their school community. Collectively, these leaders have a wealth of experience on how to implement a digital vision and we were lucky enough to get all three of them in the same room, when Jigsaw24 attended this year's Bett 2023 conference.
