MirandaNet
Group on flickr!
MirandaNet Fellow Theo Kuechel has kindly added a MirandaNet group to the photo-sharing site flickr. Theo says:
We welcome all contributions related to MirandaNet and invite you to share your photos and short videos. Examples would be MirandaMods, Conferences, and trips and images relating to MirandaNet Research. We always encourage the use of a Creative Commons Licence wherever possible, and always include the MirandaNet tag, please.
The Future of Learning: Shift 2
Many advocates of e-learning express frustration with politicians and public servants who "don’t get" the potential of digital technologies to transform educational opportunities through professional innovation. This comes despite a growing body of evidence from many projects over many years. Now it is time for MirandaNet members to publish what they think.
Historically Mod comes from the Gaelic word for a gathering, assembly or parliament.*

It is always free to attend a MirandaMod (and you will be fed and watered)
There will be a Wifi connection, so please bring your laptops etc
Some Background
* Borrowing its name from the MirandaNet community and the Gaelic word for a 'gathering or assembly', MirandaMod acknowledges its indebtedness to other unconferences, especially Teachmeet, under whose banner the original MirandaNet unconference was going to fly. However, organisational considerations mean that MirandaMod has to meet a different set of criteria to Teachmeet. We see MirandaMod as an addition, rather than a competitor, to Teachmeet in the educational unconference world, and it is more than likely that members of the MirandaMod community will be involved with Teachmeet events and vice versa.
