Coming soon: a new edition of Digital Education

February 1, 2016

I'm currently working on the latest issue of Digital Education, which is a free newsletter. I've asked some people I know to contribute their observations on Bett 2016 -- not so much what they thought of it, but their views of products, trends and the value of being there.

The result has been a fantastic range of products and trends reported on, from (in alphabetical order):

  • Ian Addison, ICT Leader in a primary school
  • Maria Brosnan, CEO of two companies
  • Natasha Campbell, Primary Curriculum Advisor
  • Me :-)
  • FutureSource Consulting, courtesy of Colin Messenger
  • Dave Gibbs, STEM Computing & Technology Specialist at the National STEM Learning Centre
  • Rose Luckin, Professor of Learner Centred Design at the London Knowledge Lab
  • Thomas Ng, School Improvement Adviser (ICT and Assessment)
  • Malcolm Payton, Consultant
  • Peter Rafferty, teacher and independent technology educator
  • Mike Sharples, Professor of Educational Technology at The Open University
  • Dave Smith, Dave Smith, Computing and Online Safety Adviser/Business Development Lead at Havering Education Services and Senior Vice Chair of the Naace Board of Management 

As well as links to other blogs about Bett 2016, a competition, news, links to interesting articles and resources, and book reviews, there are also the following "long form" articles:

  • The relevance of Stephen Potter
  • Perverse incentives in assessment
  • A troubled romance, in which Crispin Weston analyses the Secretary of State's speech at Bett 2016
  • Windmill Primary School's solution to increasing parental engagement (sponsored article)
  • Coping with the recent floods: how our website helped

If you like the sound of all this, please take a few minutes to sign up for the newsletter:
