Are you worried about the ever-changing EdTech
landscape? Not sure where to turn for guidance or
advice? Meet Dr. Neelam Parmar, Director of Digital
Education and Professional Learning. Neelam is a
shining example of how one person can help shift
uncertainty around AI by promoting it as a tool that
will enhance and enable educators, rather than replace
them!
With extensive experience in developing digital
education strategies, Dr. Parmar is a thought leader
in the EdTech space and has engaged with the UK
Department of Education (DfE) EdTech Leadership
Group. She is also a fellow of The Chartered College, a
member of the @womenEd_Tech movement, a judge
for the renowned Bett Awards and a member of the
Bett Advisory Board.
Drawing on over 20 years of research, practical
experiences and her drive towards better, Neelam
provides strategy, roadmaps and CPD programmes
that make a real impact on digital behaviour within
educational institutions. From her creative research
tools and immersive talks to the sheer passion she
brings to the industry, Dr. Parmar is on a mission to
blend technology with teaching.
Embracing change can be a daunting task, but with
Neelam as your champion, it becomes significantly
easier. She believes that by embracing even the
smallest of changes within the classroom, you can
become a better, more productive version of yourself.
By introducing said EdTech through a range of
streams, institutions will quickly realise that a once
intimidating technology has the potential to evolve into
a staple tool within the classroom!
“I just want to create a culture of positive digital education. It’s a blend of
tradition and innovation and sort of just connecting the dots across all our
schools and our communities.”
