I’ve just attended a fascinating conference entitled “Game-Based Learning.” You can see the agenda or the list of speakers by clicking the link and navigating to the appropriate place. And by the time you read this, the videos of the keynote sessions may well be up there, too.

Last year I went to an educational technology conference. I didn’t take a laptop, so the only time I could get online was when I managed to get a computer in the internet café the organisers had set up. That suited me perfectly fine, and I was very happy with what I managed to achieve.

I had a rare sighting last night -- of my desk. I should have taken a "before" picture, but I didn't think. Anyhow, here is  the "after" picture:

One of the tasks which ed tech coordinators are landed with is cajoling other teachers to use the technology in their lessons. And not just in a one-off or a tokenistic way, either. No! You’re expect to persuade them, somehow, that this is the way of the future and that they should therefore cast aside all their old, non-techie teaching methods and step into this brave new world.

Happy New Year! Isn’t it great to have a bit of a break? Trouble is, though, that starting work again is a bit of a shock to the system. And if you think it’s bad for you, wait till you see the kids! Wrenched from their bed at some unearthly hour (i.e., before noon ), they cannot be guaranteed to be looking forward to the first day back with unbridled enthusiasm.

I believe in starting as one means to go on. It’s hard sometimes, but it’s even harder to try and raise the bar later on.
