I’ve been lucky enough over the last 30 years to acquire experience and skills in a range of topics across the gamut of the Education space, I love to talk and of course write about these and have been fortunate enough to have been asked to contribute editorially to a number of education titles, from Forbes in the US, Teach Middle East and SecEd magazine in the UK. These articles include Digital Strategy, EdTech, Safeguarding, Governance, Data Protection and broader School Strategies for growth.

A Guide to Creating a Digital Strategy in Education.
Authors: Al Kingsley and Mark Anderson. 2020
With the disruption to education caused by COVID-19 and an uncertain educational future ahead, it’s more crucial than ever that all school stakeholders can come together effectively to create a digital strategy that incorporates how edtech can be used effectively in-school and remotely.
Recent events have prompted the authors of the immensely popular ‘Guide to Creating a Digital Strategy in Education’ – Mark Anderson (ICT Evangelist) and Al Kingsley (Chair of a multi-academy Trust and MD of NetSupport) – to update the guide to take account of the new landscape schools now have to navigate.
