Beyond The Device
Building a Digital Strategy that Puts Learning First
Too often, digital strategy starts with devices and platforms rather than teaching and learning.
- Teachers face tool overload and inconsistent expectations.
- Leaders struggle to align digital adoption with real priorities.
- Schools without a dedicated digital lead risk wasted investment and frustrated staff.
The result? Technology adds complexity instead of supporting learning
I’ve been there.
I’m José Picardo, an experienced school leader, serving ISI inspector, and award winning digital strategist. Over 20 years in senior leadership, I’ve supported schools and trusts across the UK and internationally to build digital strategies that actually improve learning.
What’s the plan?
By the end of this session, you’ll leave with:
- Purpose before tools — how to root digital strategy in teaching and learning, not devices.
- Pedagogy first — practical principles for technology use, from retrieval practice to feedback as dialogue.
- Coherence and confidence — strategies to reduce tool overload and build teacher trust.
- AI with wisdom — using the STAR (Spark, Think, Act, Reflect) framework to integrate AI effectively.
