E-Learning can be a wonderful tool to help students by building necessary skills for later life. By building in research tasks and positive use of AI into regular lessons (importantly not replacing lessons) they are better prepared for the world beyond secondary school. They can be more independent and ready to go beyond the confines of the curriculum and to explore subjects for the love of learning. This can be as simple as having a reading list or approved website list for your topic or more in depth activities using software such as Padlet or Nearpod. The great thing is there are so many right ways to approach this that the barriers for entry for educators are low and the benefits are huge.

Amplify your leadership capabilities in education by embracing e-learning. Utilize digital tools and platforms to create engaging and accessible learning experiences for students and educators alike. Leverage data analytics to track progress, personalize learning, and make informed decisions that enhance educational outcomes. Foster a collaborative environment by using technology to connect with peers, share resources, and develop professional skills. Stay updated with the latest e-learning trends and tools to remain innovative and effective in your leadership role. By integrating technology into your educational strategies, you'll drive growth and inspire a culture of continuous improvement.

This is nothing new but as important as ever. In an age where belief is often found masquerading as fact, educational leaders must use data to guide their decision making. Tailoring your vision for your environment based on a whim is a dangerous decision so having data on what software to use, hardware to buy, areas to to focus often limited budgets and ways to improve student experience are key. There are no infinite money cheats outside of Sim City so ensuring that you can provide the best for your students, and staff(!), with the resources available to you is key. Attending expos and networking are so helpful and the education arena is full of cooperative and kind professionals.

A prime example is the Exolab program from Magnitude IO. As an elementary science STEM specialist, I love this program! Not only does a single Exolab give students a way to collaborate within their class, but also with other sections, other schools, and even the International Space Station! My first graders made comparisons between the classroom Exolab and the one on board the ISS, catching things the 5th graders missed. My fifth grades made extrapolations based on Exolabs in other parts of our world. And all grades recorded their observations on an international database that was coalesced into a NASA research document! Interest levels rocketed when students learned they were real time participants in a global and off-world NASA project!

As a science teacher turned admin with a comedy twist, I've found that keeping up with tech trends is like updating my joke repertoire - it keeps me relevant! I launched "Meme-Based Learning" using trending platforms, boosting student engagement by 60%. Our "TikTok Science Challenges" went viral, catching the eye of ed-tech companies. Remember, when you blend tech savvy with humour, you're not just leading; you're revolutionizing education. It's about turning "How do I use this?" into "How can I make this hilarious and educational?" Stay current, stay funny, and watch your leadership impact soar!

The new “danger” for education is AI, I fundamentally disagree with this. Whilst of course there can be uses of AI that subvert testing systems in place, there are so many uses that build on learning taking place. From simple automations like helping students with EAL needs to setting a “tutor” to help them understand content. Asking an AI to impersonate Aristotle or Descartes so that students can ask it questions is a wonderful tool that allows students who struggle to ask questions to do this at their own pace. In my view AI could be such an incredible tool to bring in from an early age to teach positive associations.
