Coming soon in Digital Education
I have the following themed 'specials' coming up in my newsletter, Digital Education (not necessarily in the order shown here).
Spreadsheet special
Spreadsheet on laptop, from Stencil. Licence: CC0
Spreadsheets are definitely not boring or outdated. They are a brilliant tool for teachers needing to analyse data quickly, and they can be used to help teach programming concepts.
Robots and Artificial Intelligence
Robot with big eyes, from Stencil. Licence: CC0
A round-up of articles on various aspects of AI and robots, designed to spark debate in the classroom.
The gender issue
Woman at computer, from Stencil. Licence: CC0
It would be nice to think there is no longer a gender issue, but unfortunately that is not the case. In this 'special' I hope to explore the issues from a wider perspective than only education technology.
Is educational research worth the paper it's written on?
Research checklist, from Stencil. Licence: CC0
An exploration of whether or not it's worth reading reports of educational research, and what makes good research in the first place.
Reading matters
Books, from Stencil. Licence: CC0
A round-up of useful books for the teacher of Computing.
