Please bring a web enabled device to these MirandaMods so that you can join into knowledge creation activity.
The MirandaMod is a themed ‘unconference’. In a MirandaMod, the MirandaNet Fellowship professional community (www.mirandanet.ac.uk) invite educators to join us, face to face or online, to discuss the role of digital technologies in enriching learning. Policy makers, senior managers, teachers, student teachers will all benefit from participating in these two events. Dr Chris Yapp who is leading the three sessions is also researching for his new book, Persuasive Learning, in which ideas from educators at these events will be acknowledged. The resources from the first MirandaMod, Schools and Schooling in the Digital Age, and the second, Integrating 21st century skills into the classroom, can be found here.
MirandaMod Three: Assessing the value of physical and virtual spaces in enriching learning.

“One of the greatest changes can be seen in the lives of children and young people, who are at ease with the world of technology and who communicate, socialise and participate online effortlessly….. Yet the classrooms of today don’t reflect these changes.” Michael Gove 2011
