Thanks for the “shout out” from all the way across the Atlantic, Laura! What’s happening with education and technology in the U.K. always gives me a sense of awe in how much farther down the path of ICT and integration that we are in the United States. Recent political developments in regards to education aside, I still think there’s a lot that U.S. educators could learn from our UK counterparts.
Hi Ben, no problem at all – thanks for the brilliant blog! That’s interesting – sometimes from over here it feels like our colleagues in the US are far more tech-savvy as a rule than we are in the UK! I guess we all have something to learn from one another! Brilliant to see blogs like these giving educators the chance to support and learn from one another – I always think that’s one of the most admirable thing about the edtech community online – it’s so incredibly welcoming and supportive!
Great resources, thank you!:)
Thank you so much for including me on the list! I had a friend on Twitter let me know. Nice links and blogs – you have some great ones here. I long to be inspiring, so that was such a kind word to use — how could you know. Thank you for being insipiring yourself. You’ve done a great layout on this blog and have some tweaks I’d like to figure out myself!
Vicki! So pleased to have your comment and really appreciate the kind words. Would be more than happy to share how we have ‘tweaked’ the site, so don’t hesitate to get in touch. Thanks again for the comment and look forward to reading more inspirational posts from you in the future!
