New Tools for Teachers: Barnet, London

Yesterday I had a flying visit to the Borough of Barnet in London. The Borough of Barnet have been great friends to Learning and Teaching Scotland during the last two handheld learning festivals in London and as a result I agreed to go and speak at their annual ICT Leader Conference.

The other reason I agreed to go was because Professor Tanya Byron was the speaker before me at the conference. I have heard Tanya speak on-line a number of times but I had never seen here live and I was very keen to meet her in person. More on her presentation in a later post.

Anyway, I promised I would post the links from yesterdays talk. I’m not going to re-post the exact slides but you can find a very similar presentation and on-line hand out here.

Also, if you were at the talk – thank you for your positive feedback on the evaluation forms. Please feel free to leave further feedback or comment below.

I was at the conference - you didn't get enough time in my view!

What you presented was brilliant; exactly what what I need - a series of great ideas and suggestions that I don't have the time to research myself (already used wordle!). If you have a 'rolling list' or some sort of regular newsletter I wold really appreciate it if you could put me on the list....once again, great presentation.

Hi Stephen,
thanks for your feedback hear. I was a little bit cut for time so I didn’t quite get my hour. I would have loved to get onto the computer games stuff.

Really pleased you have already made use of Wordle – it’s a great resource and quick win for teachers!

If you subscribe to this blog (add your email in the box in the top right hand column) – you will get daily or weekly update that I hope you will find useful?

Keep in touch and thanks again.
