Send us a textEver wonder why some schools thrive with new tech while others drown in apps? We sit down with Mark Anderson—educator, author, and longtime edtech leader—to unpack what actually moves the needle: student voice, ethical AI literacy, and clear frameworks that save time without sacrificing judgment. From a 1:1 iPad rollout that focused on pedagogy and family trust to a nationwide student digital leaders network, Mark shares stories that prove culture and purpose beat gadgets every time.We dig into the heart of AI in education: how to prompt better, how to spot bias, and how to keep learning at the center. Mark explains why novices risk “de‑skilling” if they over‑outsource, and how experts “ride the machines” to become even more effective. You'll learn the STAIRS prompt method for clarity and quality, plus a practical simulate–analyze–refine workflow that pressure‑tests lesson plans before they hit the classroom. Along the way, we explore representation gaps in AI outputs, the environmental cost of models, and why authentic audiences push students from “good enough” to genuinely great.If you care about critical thinking, adaptability, and metacognition, this conversation gives you tools you can use tomorrow. We lean on TPACK to decide when not to use tech, and we reframe hype with a simple compass: so what → so that. So what a tool can do X; so that teachers reclaim time for feedback, students see themselves in the work, and learning actually improves. Subscribe, share this with a colleague who's wrestling with AI, and leave a review to tell us which strategy you'll try first.

In this episode, Rebecca Paddick spoke to Mark Anderson, known as the ICT Evangelist, to find out what's next for tech in schools.   Mark is a former school leader with more than twenty years of experience in the classroom, and is now one of the UK's most in-demand consultants and trainers, who advocates for the purposeful use of technology.   Mark talked about the future potential of generative AI, and the ethical considerations educators and edtech developers prioritise when implementing AI-driven solutions. He also discussed tech's role in aiding schools to streamline their data on crucial areas like attendance, and what the results of the upcoming election could mean for edtech.

Nice one.    Sample quotations: I've worked always at the intersection of entertainment and art  I was never a good enough coder to call myself a coder. I was never a good enough designer to call myself a designer, but I was good enough at both to recognise who was really great. The very first thing that I wrote before I wrote the company name is designing for quiet. How do we encapsulate the best parts of an analogue childhood in a digital realm? What do you think about Betsy Devos? I think she's a disaster!  I think assessment is driving education in the wrong direction.  We wanted to contextualise learning about the body by literally going beyond the skin.  All off us are geek dads, I guess  Who doesn't like flying drones right?  Messages from The Edtech Podcast: VOTE for The Edtech Podcast in the British Podcasting Awards!  JOIN US at The Edtech Podcast 1st Birthday Party!

Since then more than 700 universities around the world have launched MOOCS, used by over 60 million people. Gaining insight into this fast paced world is worth spending time on (especially for those implicated by such changes). That's where Class Central comes in.      Class Central launched at the end of 2011, and has kept track of the MOOC space right from the beginning. Not only does it list 7000+ courses, making it the #1 search engine for online courses, but the excellent MOOC report blog has deep analysis on what's up, down, new or just slightly leftfield. With over 500+ articles written, Class Central has the most comprehensive coverage of the MOOC Industry.   I came across Class Central when I was preparing for a Department for International Trade webinar I was speaking on and found it invaluable. Since then, I met founder Dhawal Shah out at SXSWedu and he was excited to share the resource with all of you. So definitely go and check it out at www.class-central.com/report/ and let me know what you think!                 This is an easy one for me as I regularly use Glisser at events because I frankly find it a bit WEIRD when there are people staring at you but you ignore them! Glisser is an audience engagement platform, and they also have an education offer for socialising lectures where they take regular PowerPoint or Keynote presentations and push each slide out live to student's mobile devices as they are presented. Professors, administrators and students get valuable data on where information is really engaging, or needs reworking and staff and students can interact through the deck.

As part of our Naace Radio activities I got the opportunity to chat with Kevin Brennan MP – Shadow Schools Minister (Cardiff West) after his opening keynote speech at the Naace Strategic Conference in March. We’ve had lots of requests to make the interview available separately. I listened to Kevin’s speech to conference and I can honestly say I haven’t heard such informed passion since listening to a former SoS for Education Estelle Morris now Baroness Morris. I think the conviction comes from having been a practitioner and there is clearly no substitute for classroom experience. Perhaps this should be a future key requirement for any SoS for Education. I’m pretty sure that this is an interview with the next SoS for Education! To listen to any of the Naace Radio Shows please visit my SoundCloud Set here https://soundcloud.com/russellprue/sets/naace-radio The interview was recorded using my amazing low-cost School Radio equipment over a Skype In connection using the PSTN.
