In the next issue of Digital Education, the free newsletter for people with an interest in educational ICT and Computing, I'll be covering a range of subjects, including:
- assessment
- a conference on the future of the teaching profession
- the KAP test
- how to evaluate a school when you go for an interview, using the RSVP test
- research reports
- book reviews
- and, if I don't collapse from exhaustion, even more!
That should be coming out pretty soon.
