Bett 2017 Bulletin #1

January 19, 2017

Here's a discussion/debate that I think will be worth attending, on the Thursday of the Bett show, ie 26th January 2017.

It's Smart's 'Transformational Learning Summit'. Now, I'm never that attracted by words like 'transformational', because I think there is already far too much hyperbole in education today. And that's especially true when it comes to education technology in my opinion, because the latest widget/approach/guru or whatever is always going to bring about a learning revolution.

Hmm.

But this one is worth going to because of the calibre of the people involved:

Jim Knight

Rose Luckin

Crispin Weston

Don Passey

Doug Brown

Angela Maiers

It should be a good discussion about current trends in education, technology and pedagogy. That's at 3:30 pm, and it's followed by a live collaborative project led by Angela.
