MirandaMod at the Pan-Hellenic Conference on ICT in Education
Next MirandaMod
Dear MirandaNetters
Not everyone takes MirandaLink, so we are advertising our next MirandaMod in Greece on 24th September on MirandaNews as well.
There have already been some very interesting postings on MirandaLink concerning the topic we shall be discussing: if you missed these, you can view the items in the MirandaLink Archive - you'll see a link to this when you log on to the members' area on MirandaNet.
I hope as many of you as can will join in this event online. You will find more information about this event and about MirandaMods on the MirandaMods Home Page
Best wishes
Christina Preston
MirandaMod at the Pan-Hellenic Conference on ICT in Education

Socrates said writing would destroy human thinking processes: are the Internet and Web 2.0 having a more profound effect on cognition?
Chair: C. Preston: Lead speaker, A. Jimoyiannis:
MirandaNet team: T. Kuechel, L. Cych
We welcome your contribution on this theme and offer the suggestions below:
- Can Web 2.0 really change the way we learn?
- Should textbooks still have value in a 21st Century educational system?
- Is the school day on the way out?
- Should there a place for social media in class?
- Is the Internet increasing our capacity to think collaboratively?
If you wish to make a short presentation please add your name to speaker list in the MirandaMod wiki (details below) and include the title of your talk and name. Sign up for a talk of between 2 – 5 minutes: it will depend on the number of contributors. Avoid 'death by presentation software' if you can. All participants should add the titles of their contribution, together with email and website links.
