Hi all, Just saw this.
"Join a free seminar on 'enabling flexibility', and get to grips with personalised learning, emerging technologies and the digital divide. The free event on 8 December in Manchester will also address issues of 'anytime, anywhere' learning. During the day, delegates can hear about the work of the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (Becta) on learning platforms, and extending access to the home. Enid Bell, of the New East Manchester Education Team, will discuss wireless broadband in East Manchester, and work on extending the network to bring learning into the community." See http://www.ngfl.gov.uk/news.jsp?sec=5&cat=99&res=90611 for more info. Complete agenda http://www.becta.org.uk/corporate/corporate.cfm?section=7_1&id=2941 also includes a panel discussion titled 'Is technology eradicating or exacerbating the digital divide?' The National Grid for Learning (NGfL) portal is the gateway to educational resources on the internet. It provides a network of selected links to websites that offer high quality content and information. In addition, searching for 'Digital Divide' in its search box http://www.ngfl.gov.uk/search/advanced.jsp?sec=22&cat=99 pulls up several sites related to Digital Divide.
