Home > Newsletter Naace Newsletter
The Naace Newsletter is published on Friday each week (apart from holiday periods) and is sent by email to the membership. It is also published on the Naace website, and builds to form a searchable archive. The Newsletter is seen to be a vital communication link between Naace Members. Not only does it serve to report on the work of Members elected to serve the Association, and that of the Naace professional team, but also provides a means of sharing information from Members who wish to publicise an event, a professional opportunity, research undertaken, or requests for help.
Newsletter archiveThe Newsletter archive COMING SOON. Older Newsletter archiveThe older archive remains available on the old website. Newsletter features and updatesThere are regular features on items of topical interest, reports on Naace consultations, 'guest' articles and other pieces of up-to-the-minute news. There are also regular updates on the development of the ICT Mark, and a weekly 'What's on' section devoted to opportunities for professional development provided by third party organisations. A weekly 'Sponsors' Announcements' section brings newsworthy information from members of the Naace Sponsoring Partner community. We bring news of Naace events and activities, and regularly seek the views of the membership in a consultation process which has proved important not only to the Association itself, but also to other agencies, including Government departments. The Naace Newsletter is seen by such agencies as a valuable and speedy way of contacting the important group of people who form Naace, and therefore the Newsletter is often used to send out important information from organisations such as Becta, QCA and National Assessment Agency. In addition news items are submitted to the editor by Members. Such submissions are welcome. The editor seeks to supplement these by introducing other items of interest, sometimes in full, sometimes in summary with hyperlinks provided for further exploration. Publication datesDuring each year there are 42 Naace Newsletters, with a further six special editions which are devoted to news from Sponsoring Partners, and which are often linked to major events such as the Naace Strategic Conference and the BETT exhibition. Finally, each Newsletter closes with a somewhat more light-hearted item from the world of ICT, or on occasion with an item simply designed to amuse. Most popular articles in this sectionPublicising products and service through Naace NewslettersThere are opportunities for Naace Sponsoring Partners to submit short articles for inclusion in Naace Newsletters.

Did you know that Herman Hollerith would have been 35 today, had he lived?
Read more...It's off to Conference for many of us on Tuesday, but my apologies to those of you for whom it is the regular grindstone rather than the opportunity to hear some of the best education ICT speakers and to network with professional colleagues. There's a lot to read today, with Chris Smith inviting you to join him in his (?) island paradise in Second Life, Ray Weaver sharing his practical experience of running a podcasting project, news of the next Naace "big event" (AMAC) and lots of "shorts" in Need2Know. Naace Newsletter 8th February 2008
This week, a fascinating JISC report looks at some of the common assumptions about the "Google Generation" as researchers, finding there is not as much difference between the age groups as mythos might suggest. Nevertheless, a YouGov poll does find more than three quarters of pupils preferring to use a PC for homework, but only 18% wanting to use social networking sites for learning.
Read more...We also have details of the latest, excellent EdtechRoundUp podcast, which features Tom Barrett and John Johnston discussing use of some of the newer online tools in learning and teaching. |
