MirandaNet
The
MirandaNet Fellowship, a non-profit making professional organisation established
in 1992 by Christina Preston, works closely with over 800 members through
an e-community of practice consisting of international ICT policy makers,
teachers, advisers, teacher educators, researchers and commercial developers
in over 70 countries. Becta called the MirandaNet Fellowship the Facebook
of the international ICT community. UNESCO has called us the Robin Hood of
professional development in digital technologies. This is because we find
funders who will fund programmes in order to stimulate case study material
- or we invite teachers to work on our research projects as co-researchers.
The Fellowship leads as one of the most highly-regarded influencers in the
use of digital technologies to enhance learning and for teacher education
both in the UK and internationally, and provides a forum where professionals
from different specialisms can share experience, expertise and philosophical
approaches about how these digital technologies are best used in teaching
and learning.
