If I still have any visitors left on this blog (apart from spammers!) you may have noticed a new little badge in the top right corner. This is a link to The Reform Symposium Conference, shortly to be held and at which I have the honour of presenting for the first time :) Here is a little bit of information about the conference:
In a few days, thousands of educators from various different countries are expected to attend a free 3 day virtual conference, The Reform Symposium, #RSCON4. RSCON will be held October 11th to 13th in conjunction with Connected Educator Month. The entire conference will be held online using the Blackboard Collaborate webinar platform.
