Free magazine looks at the future of education

Purpose: For Information

Audience: All school staff

NESTA Futurelab has recently produced a new magazine that is free to the education and ICT/technology communities called Vision which looks at the future of education. With a mix of lengthy articles and short features on, among others, gaming in education, education for 14-19 year olds and mobile technology in education, it is likely to be of interest to schools.

This is NOT a Futurelab newsletter; they would simply like to distribute it as widely as possible in order to raise awareness about innovation in education. It has a shelf life of approx. 6 months since the next edition will be produced in January.
