Friday Focus From EdTech to PedTech

In this episode of Friday Focus, I’m joined by Paul Stone, CEO of Discovery Schools Academy Trust — the leader behind an ambitious, pedagogy-centred digital transformation across a growing network of schools — and Joanne Stone, PedTech Lead and Microsoft Fellow, recognised nationally for her innovative use of technology that puts teaching and learners at the heart of digital practice. Together, Paul and Joanne take us on a journey from EdTech — where technology was introduced as a tool — to PedTech, where technology is strategically embedded to enhance how teaching and learning actually happen. They’ll share insights from national partnerships, trust-wide implementation, and research-driven approaches that prioritise pedagogy above all. 💡 In this conversation, we’ll explore: What PedTech really means — and how it’s different from traditional EdTech thinking. Why prioritising pedagogy first changes the leadership approach to digital strategy. How to align digital tools to curriculum, assessment, teaching, and learning in authentic ways. Lessons from embedding PedTech at scale across a multi-academy trust and within the emerging National PedTech Partnership. This episode promises fresh, practical insights for education leaders looking to make technology meaningful, impactful, and aligned with teaching excellence — not just flashy or functional. 👉 Tune in and start thinking differently about how technology should serve pedagogy, not the other way around. hashtag#PedTech hashtag#EdTech hashtag#DigitalLeadership hashtag#FridayFocus hashtag#SchoolLeadership hashtag#CurriculumInnovation
