Emerging Technologies

Becta’s Emerging Technologies for Learning: volume 3 (2008). is out

It seems it’s becoming an annual publication with volume 1 in 2006 and volume 2 in 2007

As before there are articles from national and international thinkers and practitioners

Each publication features articles on the very new and emerging technologies which may have an impact on life and learning. If you haven't yet looked at the first two it’s worth doing before moving onto volume 3.

Some of the volume 1 emerging technologies are now out of the chrysalis and drying off their wings, for example Mobile Technologies, Social Networks and The Broadband Home.

This third publication includes

What is good to see is that this third document is that it is easily readable online, even if it was not intended to be an online document. I’ve been really frustrated for some time about documents, usually government, that are merely PDF files designed for printing, uploaded with a two column page… read down the page for the first column and back up to the top of the page for the second column… and without links within the document. Come on Becta .. Emerging technologies?.. walk to the talk and how about a podcast version too!

The snow walk

Saturday was to be the day for setting up a new blog, but the prospect of a walk in the park , snow still on the ground and sun bright, was tempting. I asked my fellow tweeters what I should do first, walk in the park or work on the blog? And the unanimous response of those around was to walk first and then set up blog and write about it. So no couch potatoes there. Sadly once we were out there it was so good that that we did not return for a long time.

Instead of the new blog I'm showing the pictures in two ways, first new to me a Photopeach spiral (Thanks Simon Widdowson and Allanah King for sharing this at about the same time) and then using Animoto . I have an education license for this so can make longer films Enjoy my walk Snow in the park on PhotoPeach . Use the slider to hear the sound and click on...

Me at the end of 2019

My work and passion is in learning, teaching and technology, not only in how digital technologies are used as tools in a computing curriculum but in how they can transform learning and teaching and potentially education as a whole. I spend a lot of time encouraging people to join me.  I’m also a wife, mother, aunt and granny and am involved in the rough and tumble of extended family life.  I have a car, a good pair of walking boots and trekking pole,  a well-thumbed passport, trail running shoes and compass   My extensive book collection ( I moved to a new house for it) includes food stained cookery books. I’ve access to music, live, streamed and recorded, a Wii and an Xbox Kinect and many ‘robots’.  In spare time I volunteer at a wonderful National Trust property, Woolsthorpe Manor, the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton and talk to (if they want to)  the amazing, interesting people who come to visit.  Life is indeed good!
