Based on this, the fair's contents will aim to redefine the role of technology, transform the way it is taught and learned at all educational levels, and show how innovation and pedagogy play an essential role in improving the overall quality of the education system.
The incorporation of technology in education is enhancing the efficiency of both learning and teaching, facilitating significant progress in distance education, and customising, adjusting, and gamifying learning, among other factors. Moreover, it is equipping students with the necessary skills to tackle the demands of the 21st century, providing them with a strong basis in digital competencies and essential abilities.
Nuria de Miguel, the recently appointed director of SIMO EDUCATION, emphasised the importance of uniting leading companies in the field of educational innovation to provide innovative technological resources for teaching. She added that SIMO EDUCATION 2024 is poised to be an indispensable event for the education industry, convening all major players to discuss the crucial topics of technology and education and to address evolving needs by updating and adapting our available solutions.
Educational technology, AI in the classroom and emotional education, a necessary debate
At this benchmark event, numerous experts will address fundamental aspects that are marking the future of education. Within the areas that will shape the SIMO EDUCATION 2024 agenda, it is worth emphasising educational technology as a means to facilitate teaching and learning processes, considering its significance in enhancing student achievement. Additionally, the integration of AI in classrooms and its transformative impact on education through personalised approaches, as well as the principles and ethical considerations guiding technology usage, are also key aspects to be highlighted. The focus on emotional education, mental health, and bullying is crucial in tackling the issue of school violence, which encompasses cyberbullying and infringes upon students' right to education. This significantly impacts the health and overall well-being of students both within and beyond the school environment.
