The new EBacc & Education Technology: Educators & Entrepreneurs Sharing Thoughts
- October 24, 2012 · 6:45 PM
The education landscape is going to dramatically change with the introduction of the new EBacc, but what does this mean for educators, entrepreneurs and the future of learning with technology?
TechHeads has invited some of England's leading education professionals to join a panel discussion and explore the exciting opportunities and challenges of Ebacc developments.
Panel Speakers:
1. Tony Parkin - Educational Technologist and Disruptive Nostalist. Ex-Head of ICT Development at Specialist Schools Academies Trust
2. EdExcel - Confirmed [Speaker TBC]
3. Neil McLean - Head of Futurelab Research Centre at NFER
4. Sue Street - Sue is a NAACE Fellow, and national leader of ICT including being an ICT Mark assessor and teacher of ICT
5. Chris Johnston - Principal Moderator ICT GCSE ('Creative Use of ICT' Unit), Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations
6. Bill Mitchell - Director British Computer Society, Academy of Computing
Open Q&A Session
After the panel session, we will open the discussion to the floor: to your questions, and collectively to reflect on opportunities in this space, from a learning and technology angle.
If you have a question for the panel, please email us directly and we'll aim to ensure the panel do their best to address it.
A networking session will run at the end of the event, where you'll get a chance to meet the speakers, other tech start-ups and discuss your own ideas and innovations. (BCS & TechHeads will be providing teas/coffees soft drinks/wines).
Looking forward to meeting you,
Ed & the TechHeads team.

I was disappointed that some of speakers joined in the media driven myth that all ICT Teachers were lazy idiots. Useful to hear from the BCS however.

Dear Ed Heads-
Happy Wednesday! Looking forward to this event tonight. My company, Ginicam, has created a brand new video streaming technology that allows an unlimited number of people to engage in a live video stream simultaneously. It is not flash based and uses very little bandwidth. We've created a platform for people to buy and sell services online. We will also be licensing our video streaming technology for free on an application basis via an API soon. If you'd like to know more, come talk to me tonight or send me a message.
See you all tonight
Cheers!

Shame you didn't set it up this evening. I've had to stay home with what feels like the start of flu.
