Naace and the Association for Learning Technology (ALT), working with the Department for Education, have created a site to encourage a public discussion on the implications of new technology developments in English schools, building on the impetus created by Micheal Gove's speech at BETT.
The site has a series of themes containing questions; a number of the obvious answers for many involve the word "open"; whether it is open source, open standards or just generally more openness! But if those of us with knowledge and experience of the application of openness in tech and organisations do not provide answers, the response will be skewed by those who want to maintain some variant of the status quo.
The themes are being made available for discussion on a schedule. The first two are available now and are "Young people" and "Pace of technological change".
