In the next issue of Computers in Classrooms, the free newsletter for teachers and leaders of educational ICT, I intend to report on several recent conferences. For example, the Education World Forum has featured some very interesting talks by several prominent people, and I have attended a few other conferences as well which I will attempt to summarise.

That's in addition to the continuing theme of games-based learning.

In the meantime, look out for some interesting announcements from Microsft during the week, concerning their reseach, and Office 365 for education. I will be reporting back on a very interesting discussion I had with Lauren Woodman, Microsoft's General Manager of Public Sector Programs, in Computers in Classrooms - of course!
