• Members - Naace Annual Strategic Conference: Videos online!

Delegates enjoyed an inspiring conference with phenomenally challenging keynotes and breakout sessions from a cast of leaders in the field of ICT in Education. From Martha Lane Fox's introductory keynote to 'Race Online for 2012' through to Michael Furdyk's fast paced consideration of how 'Digital Kids are Changing the World', with numerous high points from Keri Facer, Lord David Puttnam and so many more in between - we humbly declare this year's conference a roaring success!


• All - Certified Naace Professional Scheme - ICT in Education

This scheme, launched at the Naace Strategic Conference 2010, is a major new initiative, which is designed for people who have a leadership role in advancing education through ICT. It is designed to promote and recognise excellent practice in initiating and leading ICT developments in education. An invitation has been issued to all Naace Members to engage in the pilot scheme - register your interest now - only forty candidates can be included in this initial scheme.


• Members - BSF and Innovation - friends or enemies?

On 4 December 2009, a Naace think tank took place - the theme was "Safeguarding ICT innovation under BSF Managed Service Contracts". As part of the build up to this event, we invited members to share their ideas, experiences and reflections. You are still able to share your views with us - in the Naace CPD area you will find a Moodle with the same title as the think tank. It contains six questions, and we hope you will respond to any or all of them online.


Join in the debate. Be sure to have your say!
