The BETT Show is, I’m reliably informed, the biggest education technology show in the world. It takes place in London, England, every January. This year it was slightly later, but I’ll come to that in a moment. The first thing I’ll say is that even if you didn’t attend you may find this article interesting, as I suspect that several comments will apply to any education technology conference. Preamble BETT 2013Just on a personal note, it has taken me a week to get to this review for several reasons. First, as always I like to mull things over, and give a considered opinion rather than an initial reaction.

I admire those people for whom those two responses are not mutually exclusive options, but I’m afraid I prefer to cogitate for a while before, as it were, putting pen to paper. Second, there has been a lot to cogitate on. Third, in addition to working and conference-going I have been trying to catch up on sleep. But, here we are. Some general notes But enough persiflage! 10 things I liked. New Media Expo 2013 : Podcast Episode #28 | Music Radio Creative : Radio Jingles, DJ Drops and Audio Production. Podcast: Play in new window | Download New Media Expo in Las Vegas NMX has just concluded in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Here’s a look back at some of the sessions with Mike Russell from Music Radio Creative. Live from Las Vegas This podcast was thought up and created in Las Vegas but it feels no different to podcast producing from home thanks to the wonders of modern technology it’s so easy to edit on the move using good quality equipment like the Blue Microphones Mikey and the Roland R-05 not to mention my iPad. It’s really easy to edit on the iPad and the choice of digital audio editors that allow for multitrack editing is amazing. New Media Expo NMX has proven to be a fantastic conference for the blogging, podcasting and web TV community and I strongly recommend that you consider attending next year. I enjoyed every session I attended, far too many to mention in this podcast, here are just a few: That’s it for NMX 2013.

I hope to see you next year at NMX. Like this: Like Loading... TodaysMeet. It-vejledninger UCSJ | Tips og Tricks | Lav korte webadresser. Teachers' Quick Guide on The Use of Games in Education. Online gaming plays a major part in most of young people's lives. The gaming trend that started off as a sole leisure activity a couple of years ago is now integrated into the mainstream and more and more people are using them on everyday basis.Game developers and business corporations are generating billions of revenues out of their sales .In March 2008, a government-funded report from DCSF indicated that sales of games for the under 12 age group represented nearly three quarters of the total UK games market. 87 % of 5-16 year old have a game's console at home, and the enormous success of the Nintendo Wii has shown that new technologies can reach and hold audiences never expected to enjoy playing online or computer games.

Hello Many people have asked me to introduce myself and explain a bit about the site. My name is Debbie Jones and I have been teaching ICT for a number of years with KS3, GCSE and A level responsibility. I found myself constantly looking for materials from the web, and sometimes spending hours just trying to find that useful exercise I had seen, but couldn't remember where. If I was wasting hours looking for things, then probably others were doing the same.

How useful it would have been to quickly access a wide range of materials on a specific topic. This was how teach-ict.com came into being. The site has been running since 2002, so about 8 years (time flies!) I would like to continue to provide a free service for others to use, so all I ask is that you download only what you need, rather than everything you see. If you wish to contact me, use the "CONTACT" button in the header, I normally answer the same day. My formal details are: Teach-ICT.com Limited Registered at Cardiff. Category Archives: Sprog.
