We are always pleased to welcome new members to MirandaNet. All members receive MirandaNews, a membership newsletter which generally goes out once a month, occasionally more frequently. Members can also send and receive messages on MirandaLink and debate issues in our Forums, and Scholars and Fellows can publish further information about themselves on the site as well as contribute to our Case Studies. Membership is free to bona fide educationists, but we ask for support from members representing companies and educational industries.
You can read more about these different kinds of members below, or go straight to our Joining Form where you can apply for Membership.
Members
MirandaNet members - the first level of participation. Members can subscribe to the internal mail list to join in debates on ICT topics with other educators, receive the latest news and the e-zine. Members are invited to all the MirandaNet workshops, seminars, forums and conferences, are to use the World Ecitizens and World Ejournal sites.
You can join the MirandaNet Fellowship at any level depending on how much you want to put in and how much you plan to gain from membership. You can also change your membership level at any stage to suit your current circumstances. In particular we aim to reward what you already know and can do rather than inventing new hurdles for you to jump. (We also want to celebrate any skills and knowledge you have in ICT which we may not even have guessed at yet. Let us know if you are an innovator of this kind). Any comments on improving our inclusive and celebratory membership strategy will be warmly received. Groups and young learners are welcome as well. A group has the status of a MirandaNet chapter. There are already 25 international MirandaNet chapters.
Our aim as a Fellowship is to share knowledge and to build new knowledge and theories collaboratively. We call this our theory of Braided Learning which is the reason for the name of our e-journal - The Braided Learning E-Journal.
You can choose which level of MirandaNet membership you want to aim at. We will do everything we can to help you get there. In the end we hope that you will be willing to support other new members as well. Apply now
Scholars
Scholars enjoy all the Member advantages, but will normally have submitted at least 200 words about their ICT interests and practice in their Membership Profile. This first profile that you have written will be sent to the newsletter editor, so that it can be used to introduce you to other members. The editor will discuss this introduction with you if you wish. If your first language is not English you can send us notes which we will edit with pleasure. Scholars must publish their agreed assignment in their profile which is posted online. Apply now
Fellows
We award a Fellowship to anyone who writes a 2,000 word submission or a multimedia equivalent about the ICT work that you specialise in, especially a project. This article will be published in the MirandaNet Braided e-journal which is peer reviewed by practitioners for practitioners. These are the kinds of submissions you can make : research notes of work in progress for comments and suggestions, discussion papers about related topics, contributions to the MirandaNet ICT in education literature review, academic research papers summarised for practitioners, reviews of related books, software and other media, summaries of uses of ICT education. The word count presents a standard formula to help potential Fellows with length, but we are keen to accept contributions of variable length and in other media as well. Abstracts of 200/300 words of suggested contributions for the ejournals will help us to help you. See the current list of Case Studies for guidance. If you have any further questions about the Fellowship or the profiles, please discuss them with Christina Preston by sending her an email ( ). Apply now
We also offer accreditation for practice-based research project at any level from Diploma to Masters from the MirandaNet Academy.
Industry Partners
The Fellowship also has industry partners. These are companies involved in research projects using advanced technologies for teaching and learning. Industry sponsors are able to pilot new products and services using the expertise of the Fellows in education. Apply now
