Accessibility Tech: Mid-2025 Consolidation Guide
July 14, 2025
Mid-2025 has brought plenty of accessibility headlines, but the bigger win for schools is consolidation: standardising what you already have across Apple, Google, Microsoft and ChromeOS. This guide focuses on what has genuinely changed since early 2025, the “default settings” worth adopting, and the AI features that help in practice (plus the ones that quietly mislead). You’ll find repeatable classroom routines, procurement questions to prevent an inclusion lottery, and a refreshed minimum viable inclusion stack designed for mixed-device schools.
Claude 4 Deep Dive for Schools
July 3, 2025
This classroom-first guide gives you two clear paths: what to do if Claude 4 is released today, and what to do if it is not. You’ll translate headline model changes into what teachers actually notice in planning, feedback and in-lesson support, then run a school-safe evaluation using no pupil data. You’ll also tighten data protection defaults, refresh assessment integrity boundaries, and choose a cautious rollout route from release day to week 4. Practical templates are included to copy and adapt.
WWDC AI: What Schools Do Next Week
June 3, 2025
Apple’s WWDC AI announcements sound exciting, but schools need a calm, practical translation. This briefing turns release-day headlines into three concrete decisions: what genuinely changes for managed Apple fleets, which classroom-facing capabilities are worth prioritising (especially accessibility and on-device features), and what to test and communicate next week without triggering risky roll-outs. Use it to align IT, safeguarding and teaching teams on sensible defaults, evidence to collect, and questions to put to Apple and your MDM provider.
