Welcome to the Firefly Learning Conference 2016
The annual Firefly Learning Conference brings together inspirational speakers and leading educators to discuss how technology can be used to support learning, teaching and assessment.
This year, our keynote will be delivered by Lord Jim Knight, formerly the longest serving minister for schools in the UK government.
Plus, other presentations, roundtables and Show & Tells, with schools talking about the exciting ways that they have used Firefly over the past year. Follow us @fireflyteam and we'll be tweeting about the conference with #fireflylc.
