Digital publication after the MirandaNet event
BETT13 at Excel - the view from the BalconyDr Preston, the founder
of the MirandaNet Fellowship, holds this free MirandaNet event at the BETT
show every year when UoB students are invited to help as a work experience
opportunity. She said that this year had been a particular success as over
250 educators attended to debate some key issues in educational innovation.
Participants came from the UK as well as Belgium, Bulgaria, Catalonia, Czech
Republic, Emirates, Finland, Germany, Iceland, India, Israel, Holland, Norway,
Saudi Arabia, Spain and Sweden. This year the BETT13 associates who sponsored
the activities were: GEBOL; Group Call; KO-SU, My Knowledge Map; Oracle;
Steljes; Texas Instruments; and, TSM workshops.
This funding from companies is essential as some of MirandaNet’s policy makers, teachers and researcher members in 80 countries are in remote areas and would not be able to afford a membership fee. Many cannot get to London for a conference either. But they can all view the proceedings video-streamed on line as a result of the donation of high quality classroom sound equipment by LightSpeed and the video equipment and personnel provided by IRIS Connect. Because of this equipment, valuable resources derived from the participation of distinguished speakers and delegates will be published on the MirandaNet website soon, free to all.
