BETTer Teaching - home

<h1>Welcome to the BETTer teaching wiki</h1>
 <h1>At the moment I'm proposing the idea of having a stand or similar at BETT 2010 staffed by those of us at the chalkface - this is a space for all to input ideas etc into the melting pot so feel free to edit as you see fit.</h1>
 <br />
This is a copy of the origional email sent to mirandanet;<br />
<br />
&quot;<span style="line-height: normal; border-collapse: collapse;" class="Apple-style-span">I was thinking that a stand manned by a group of teachers that are</span><br />
<span style="line-height: normal; border-collapse: collapse;" class="Apple-style-span">actually using a lot of the cutting edge bits of technology would be<br />
ace. Totally independent we'd be able to talk about using google docs,<br />
moodle, blogs etc as well as recommending stuff to see/do/use from the<br />
show.<br />
<br />
Almost like a free ideas/consultancy stand for both<br />
teachers/management and the makers of products to come and consult.<br />
<br />
We could run a few workshops a-la teachmeet. ie Only things that are<br />
actually being used in the classroom right now.<br />
<br />
On the financing side I'm sure that a lot of companies would supply<br />
kit and sponsor the stand as they know we'll be demo-ing and<br />
recommending things to do with it.&quot;</span><br />
<br />
<h1>Role:</h1>
 <br />
<ul><li><strong><em>Give truly independent advice to teachers/management/product producers as to how different products and ideas are used in the classroom</em></strong></li></ul><br />
<ul><li>Sharing current good practice - no if's and no ideas not in the classroom</li><li>Offer talks and workshops on particular products</li><li>Act as a repository of knowledge -</li><li>A sounding board for ideas and suggestions</li></ul><br />
In other words - turn up, socalise, do what we normally do - with a few fixed talks thrown in.<br />
