I don’t know about all of you, but Stuart and I had a lovely Friday, driving from our offices in Reading to Margate, Kent to deliver a car full of Stone Netbooks to Nicki Maddams, our Innovid video contest winner.
We met Nicki’s head teacher Andy Somers (pictured here with Stuart, Nicki and me) and other members of staff, and we got to see Nicki’s classroom. She was keen to take one of the netbooks home over the weekend to have a play with it, and the staff all had ideas of how to make the best use of the computers for the school.
More information about Nicki and the contest can be found in an article on Merlin John’s blog.
During our long drive to and from Hartsdown Technology College (once Stuart forced me to turn off the continuous loop of the Glee soundtrack), we had lots of time for brainstorming about this blog and our plans for the Innovative Teachers Programme in the coming months. We were really happy with the results of the Innovid contest, and we want to provide more opportunities like this for all of you. Watch this space for updates!
