Digital Education: what's in the latest issue?

March 21, 2017

My intention to cut down the length of Digital Education is starting to be honoured more in the breach than the observance. Here's what happened in a recent editorial meeting:

Me: OK, that news item is not absolutely vital, so bin it.

Editor: Hang on, it could be of interest to some people. People like to know about the brains behind the newsletter. Well, they want to know who's behind it anyway.

Me: It's about High Street Kensington tube for goodness' sake, and where I sweated over a hot text book in my teens.

Editor: Exactly. It's the human interest angle. OK, what else have we got?

Me: Well, there's this article by Derek ---

Editor: Bin it.

Me: --- Blunt. Why?

Editor: We can't afford a libel suite.

Me: OK, what about this assessment piece?

Editor: Definitely. And we'll also have some news about the Bett show, the London Book Fair, e-safety, classroom apps, Ofsted, research, book reviews ---

Me: Wait! I thought we were going to keep it short? You're the editor. Editors are supposed to edit, ie cut stuff.

Editor: Hmm. Maybe next time.

So, dear reader, you can't say I haven't tried. The latest issue of Digital Education is not too overwhelming, but it's not a one pager either. To read it, and avail yourself of various free resources and past issues, sign up here: 

It's free, and we use a double opt-in system, and we don't do spam.
