    How are you empowering all learners today and preparing them to thrive tomorrow? As technology changes, the skills that employers are looking for are also evolving to include skills such as creative problem-solving, analytical and design thinking, and collaboration. The keynote will be followed by a conversation with leaders from Castlemilk High School and St John Paul II Primary School in Glasgow, discussing how they enable all students to develop these skills - and how technology helps support young people today and prepare them for tomorrow.
