Building upon the highly enthusiastic responses to our previous three events, the next ‘e-maginative learners’ national conference aims to provide timely, inspirational and practical support for everyone involved in transforming schools.  The focus is upon how the effective use of appropriate technology can best support learners, teachers and school improvement.

As ever, we seek to bring you inspirational speakers of high standing who will not only inspire and help move your thinking forward, but will also enable you to get to grips with the nuts and bolts of successful implementation.  Speakers and seminar leaders already booked for 2007 include:

·        Professor Stephen Heppell (www.heppell.net <http://www.heppell.net/> );
·        John Davitt (www.newtools.org <http://www.newtools.org/> );
·        Steve Moss (Strategic Director - ICT, Partnership for Schools),
·        Dr Baldev Singh (Head of Strategic ICT Development at Imagine Education Ltd and recipient of 2004 National Teaching Award for Innovation in Education);
·        Professor Angela McFarlane (via video) (Professor of Education & Director of Learning Technology at the University of Bristol);
·        Gerry Gray (Science AST).

The 2007 conference will make particular reference to:

·        implementing really effective personalised learning;
·        successfully addressing boys underachievement in English;
·        improving learning outcomes through the effective use of mobile devices.

Our conferences are self-funding but not for profit.
