The e-sgol Conference brings teachers and education practitioners together, linking the diversity that e-sgol and partners have to offer as well as learning from educational Speakers.
During the day, you will hear about the different initiatives that e-sgol deliver, including e-sgol in the Primary sector, Carlam Cymru and the pedagogy behind delivering a hybrid learning course. Speakers and teachers from across these areas will share their experiences and knowledge of working with e-sgol. In addition, there will be an opportunity to chat and visit a number of stands from various organisations between speakers.
