Coming up with the perfect strategy for adopting and updating technology in your school is a constant challenge. Principal Paul Norton discusses using technology at school: what works, what doesn’t and how to get everyone involved

With technology advancing all the time, there is pressure on schools to adopt new and relevant technologies.
