Naace is the professional association for those concerned with advancing education through the appropriate use of information and communications technology (ICT). Naace was established in 1984 and has become the key membership organisation for those working in ICT in education.

The definitive UK conference for all those passionate about ICT in Education is back again with a superb programme for 2010. It brings together colleagues from all over the UK and beyond, together with key players from government and industry, and provides a forum to share best practice and exchange ideas.

Naace has a key role in the development and delivery of the ICT Mark working with our partner, the awarding body, Becta. The ICT Mark is an accreditation for schools who have reached nationally agreed levels within the Becta self-review framework.

Naace runs a wide range of activities and events for Members and Sponsors. Information about forthcoming and recent events is available here.

If you are organising any events and would be happy to hand out Naace literature please do let us know or should you have exhibition space that we may be able to fill please contact michelle.cank@naace.co.uk

The Naace Newsletter is published on Friday every other 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.

For some time there has been a need to encourage and support teachers aspiring to become or recently appointed as ICT co-ordinators. Martyn Wilson and Janet Roberts of Hampshire County Council have worked with Naace and Nottingham Trent University (NTU) to develop a course aimed at new and aspiring ICT coordinators.

These articles provide information about how to apply to run the course and other details.

Welcome to the Primary area of the Naace website. There is a wide range of material on the Naace site and Primary Resources sites to support teaching and learning in the Primary school.

Naace Connect is a new and exciting online video magazine for Naace members and others interested in educational ICT. Each programme is approximately half an hour in length and divided into 5 minute episodes which include interviews with practitioners, key stakeholders and thinkers in educational ICT that meets the aims of the association. Naace Connect is distributed online via Naace.tv and other appropriate online channels and is covered by a Creative Commons Licence and we encourage you to distribute the episodes to help spread the word about good educational ICT practice.

Naace holds two major conferences: the annual strategic conference in March and the All Members Autumn Conference (AMAC) in October.

Naace has a presence at many other conferences and events throughout the year including BETT.

Naace Members have contributed to the DCSF consultation on the proposed Home Access programme. The DCSF sought views on a number of questions during Spring 2008 and the Naace response is published here.
