I like the idea of the Digital Resident vs Digital Visitor. I think I am very much in the resident camp.
A discussion around the use of games and gaming at Amplifed Education at BETT 2010. We had a very interesting discussion and could have gone on for hours on this topic.
Thanks to Leon Cych for sorting out all the filming of the various Bett Fringe events.
The first few weeks of January are always conference season for me. I start with the Association for Science Education (ASE) Conference and then its BETT, the ICT conference. It’s very interesting to compare the two different approaches.
At the ASE the main focus is on the free workshops and seminars running over the few days. [...]
At BETT there were several companies demonstrating projectors that had their own built-in system for detecting a pen, giving the same functionality of an interactive whiteboard, without the whiteboard bit.
Epson were demonstrating their 450i Model (click for specs) which looked pretty interesting. I had a play with it on the stand and it seemed pretty [...]
My second day at BETT was more of the same really. I probably spent a little too long socialising than hitting stands, but this is the one time of the year where all the companies I train for are all in one place – so it’s great to get to catch up with everyone.
Day 2 [...]
Photos from BETT Day 1 below. I must admit there wasn’t a lot of “brand new” stuff on show that I found. It all seemed to be improvements on stuff from last year – bigger whiteboards, larger screens, 3D tech and software upgrades.
A few things caught my eye on the first day.

Kiran Bir Sethi shows how her groundbreaking Riverside School in India teaches kids life’s most valuable lesson: “I can.” Watch her students take local issues into their own hands, lead other young people, even educate their [...]
A quick reminder that if you are in or near Alberta, Canada in March then I will be speaking at the Teacher2Teacher conference on 18th and 19th March 2010 at Senator Gershaw School, Bow Island, Alberta.
The four sessions I will be delivering are:
Smartboards and High School Science
Essential Digital Resources for your IWB
Great Lesson Starters for [...]
I’m just back from a very snowy Nottingham having attended the ASE (Association for Science Education) Conference.
I gave a talk about Blogs and Wikis in Science Teaching and wanted to share the presentation, and resources here, so that they can be found all in one place.
The presentation is here on Slideshare if you want to [...]
I’ve already written about two of the three events that are taking place in the evenings of BETT next week; TEDxOrenda on the Wednesday and Teachmeet on the Friday.
The details of the third event are now available. The event is called AmplifiED and will take place on the Thursday evening.
Unlike the TEDx and TeachMeet events [...]
