Back and Forward

Written by Graham Brown-Martin on Friday, 21 December 2007
At the beginning of 2007 the UK Minister for Schools, Jim Knight, announced an ambitiously named group, “The Home Access Task Force”. With backers including Intel, RM and Dell, its stated objective was to identify solutions that would enable home access for more than 1 million young people in the UK who do not currently have access to the Internet, and therefore knowledge at their finger tips, at home. Or so it would seem. Call me a curmudgeon but it was somewhat ironic that the choice of venue for this announcement was the BETT show, an event where the combined investment of all the participating companies, attendees, etc could probably fund the provision of every one of those learners with a device and connectivity. Or even a couple of new schools. One wag (the founder of a large and successful technology provider) suggested that his company would be better standing outside handing teachers £50 notes.

I won’t go into the details of these or any of the other sessions I attended; you can read about that in my blog. Instead, I will provide my general impressions of the conference as a whole. I will do so by issuing the following awards for conference highs and lows. And the awards go to … (0) Leave a Comment
