A Call especially to our International Members
Conferences, MirandaMods and Miranda seminars
December 2009 - April 2010
Dear MirandaNetters
To help your forward planning here are some international conferences we recommend. You will see on the listing below that MirandaNetters will be attending some of these conferences as well as visiting other countries: please do get in touch if you can meet us at any of these locations.
You are also invited to attend either in person or online the next five MirandaMods where you can share your knowledge with other MirandaNetters. You can see the range of resources that have developed from the MirandaMods we have held so far by following the links on the MirandaNet MirandaMod home page: www.mirandanet.ac.uk/mirandamods. We would also like speakers for MirandaNet specialist seminars alongside the MirandaMods held in London from January 2010 to March 2010. If you would like to speak on Educational Games, Concept Mapping, ICT CPD programme design or Multimodal Literacy let me know. Please also get in touch if you have an event or seminar or conference you would like us to publicise in our next Conference Listings newsletter.
Regards
Christina Preston
