Using & Teaching Educational Technology
Doing our bit against poverty

Can ICT teachers, or teachers who use ICT, or indeed any educationalist concerned with ICT in education do anything about poverty? It may seem implausible or even impossible, but I would say the answer is a resounding "yes". In this post I outline some possible action points.

 


This post is part of Blog Action Day 08 - Poverty

Using & Teaching Educational Technology
Eyes on the street

Here in London, England, the Handheld Learning Conference is in full swing. Believe it or not, it's the first time I've been, and I have to say it won't be the last.

But rather than dwell on that, I wanted to talk about a great experience I had. I attended a presentation by Danah Boyd, and then had the privilege of listening to her later in the day when she was on a panel. Her talk, about living in a networked world, really got me thinking, as did her comments on the panel, which came at the end of a session about virtual worlds.

What does an IT consultant do?
The joy of tech
Is this what your IT consultant's desk look like?

It's interesting to see how the term "IT consultants" has different meanings depending on the context in which they operate, and their company's size.
