Plenary conferences programme

At the start of the 2024 school year, high school students in their second year discovered MIA: a program using artificial intelligence to help them learn French and mathematics. This tool was developed in response to a request from the teaching teams for access to a secure tool that respects students' personal data.

Further proof that the use of AI in schools has gone beyond the status of homework help to become a genuine educational tool. Using these technologies to open up new ways of learning is all well and good. But understanding what they're made of, and developing critical thinking skills, is (really) even better!

On Wednesday November 13, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., @Educatechexpo will be giving the floor to 4 digital and AI experts, during a round table discussion on the support possibilities to be implemented on a daily basis, for all audiences

Generative AI both fascinates and evokes apprehension due to its immense potential impact on our daily lives. But in education and training, how can we leverage the power of generative AI?

The nolej AI solution allows teachers and trainers to automatically transform their courses into 12 interactive micro-learning activities. Users of the nolej solution will share concrete feedback from universities, vocational training centers (CFA), business and engineering schools, training organizations, high schools, and middle schools.

These case studies will highlight the benefits for teachers, trainers, and learners, while addressing the concerns raised by the use of AI.

This conference-debate is an opportunity for those involved in digital education to look at what has been achieved in the first two years since the publication of the digital education strategy: developing digital citizenship, improving pupils' digital skills, enhancing the digital offering for teachers, strengthening the governance of those involved, setting up a digital commons offering and the Ministry's incubator... not forgetting debates such as the report by the Screen Commission and artificial intelligence. What concrete action has been taken on the four pillars of the strategy? What difficulties have been encountered? How have the players managed to resolve them? This conference will also be an opportunity to capitalise on these achievements to look ahead to the next deadlines in 2025.

Digital plan, bet won: since the inauguration of the Digital Pilot Primary School in March 2018, 100% of Boulogne's schools at the top level!

The digital commons is one of the priorities of the Digital Education Strategy. But what exactly are they? What's in it for public policy in general and digital education in particular? What actions should be put in place to ensure that the promises of the digital commons are actually kept?

Social networks allow us to free ourselves from physical encounters, leading to a mode of exchange where we can choose what we show and what we say about ourselves, test new modes of expression and have access to a vast amount of information when we're not very mobile... So it's easy to understand why young people have embraced the Internet as a means of socializing and learning about the world, alongside institutions such as school and the family.

Schools obviously have a role to play in helping young people master their digital identity, protect their personal data, deal with online violence and understand the role of algorithms in the information they consume. To help young people seize the opportunities offered by the many social networks, as well as guard against their limitations, we need to develop their skills and know-how in the digital world.

On Thursday, November 14, 2024, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., at Educatech expo, we'll be looking at the place of social networks in the school environment, and the role educators can play in developing students' digital and emotional skills.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming every aspect of our daily lives, and education is no exception. Popular with the general public and embraced by students, AI is raising important questions in the education sector. How can we leverage its capabilities to enrich curricula, optimize school management and create innovative new services for students? How can we master its uses and develop an ethical and responsible framework, adapted to everyone's needs?

Econocom & Microsoft invite you to an exceptional session, dedicated to the integration of AI in education. This session will be an opportunity to discover perspectives and best practices for implementing innovative and effective learning environments, focused on student success.
Hear through a roundtable discussion; the testimony of a community on the challenges of integrating digital in the classroom.
Program :

• Introduction to AI and education: An overview of AI technologies and their impact on the world of education.
  
• Concrete use cases: Presentation of successful projects integrating AI in different educational contexts.
  
• Round table with experts: Discussions with AI specialists and teachers, sharing their experiences and practical advice.
  

How are you empowering all learners today and preparing them to thrive tomorrow? 

As technology changes, the skills that employers are looking for are changing — away from passive, knowledge-based skills toward skills like creative problem-solving, analytical thinking, design, and collaboration.

Join Apple in a roundtable discussion with leaders from Saint-Etienne Métropole as they share their vision for sustainable digital development in schools and how they are empowering teachers and preparing students for future careers.

Marc Chassaubéné, Vice President of Saint-Étienne Métropole, Deputy Mayor of Saint-Étienne, Severine Faure, Numérique à l'école Project Manager and Christophe Bernard, Director of Services will share the pillars of an ambitious digital plan for 53 communes.

In spring 2024, the digital workspaces (ENT) of 150 schools in several académies were the victims of cyberattacks. At the time, the French Ministry of Education took a number of emergency measures, including the “preventive and temporary” suspension of ENT messaging systems to prevent further attacks. This announcement prompted many teachers to react on social networks, just as the Parcoursup application procedures were coming to an end - ENT messaging systems could be used, in this context, for exchanges between families and schools.

The fight against hacking in education has been stepped up for the start of the 2024 school year, with increased user awareness of “good digital hygiene” measures: renewing and strengthening passwords, blocking messages from suspicious messaging services...

On Thursday, November 14, 2024 from 3:15 to 4:15 pm, Educatech expo will take this hot topic head-on at a round-table discussion that will review the latest advances in cybersecurity in the school environment, and the measures and methods put in place to prevent future attacks.
 

This conference explores the impact of new technologies on key sectors such as education, with a focus on ethical and responsible integration.
An expert from Impact AI will address the transformation of the IT sector in the face of AI, while a speaker from CANUT will outline procurement trends in public markets and their link with corporate social responsibility (CSR).
A representative from ISEP will share his vision of the use of AI in education, while a member of the OECD will provide a global perspective on international standards for responsible conduct and technology adoption.

A web page that takes 10 minutes to load, outdated software, equipment that's too heavy: the obsolescence of classroom hardware is an inevitable event that many teachers dread. While some local authorities renew their schools' IT equipment every 5 years, others turn to purchasing reconditioned hardware and maintaining equipment in-house for greater responsiveness.

Computers, tablets, blackboards and other connected objects: each local authority has its own idea of the “satisfactory” level of digital equipment that will help combat the digital divide, and that perfectly matches the needs of educational teams and pupils alike. 

Don't miss the round table organized on November 15th, 2024 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Educatech expo, which will take stock of the types of partnerships observed in the territories, and look back at the orientations of local authorities concerned about the environmental impact of digital technology and the realities of digital equipment in schools and universities in France.
