Conference - After the eveny

What was the best part of the conference?

We've now had Russell Prue and John Davitt, who might be good next year as a Keynote Speaker?

What are you teaching Right Now?

What subject/software tools are you teaching this half term? (remember to tell us for which year group it is!)

Favourite Freebies

What are your favourite/best free resources for teaching (or not!) on the internet right now?

Interested in Learning Platforms or Online Learning

We are looking for a group of 10-15 enthusiastic and interested ICT Leaders from all phases, who would be interested in helping Waltham Forest evaluate and make a final choice in Online Learning Environments.

The Learning Environments would be the next stage in Online Learning Platforms from our current LGFL “Digitalbrain” portals, but we need your input to know which is our best choice.

We are looking for a number of ICT subject leaders who would be willing to spend two days in early Spring (cover costs will be supplied for participating schools) working with us to evaluate the short listed Learning Platforms and make our final choice.

This is a chance to really have a say in changes affecting schools across the LA. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Christian Smith at the EDucation Centre
