we see these video’s all the time but where are the videos celebrating our learning.

We want our listeners and their colleagues, peers and students to plan out a video clip to celebrate using ICT in education. You don’t need to shoot the clip just plan it – you can shoot it.  Think outside the box – behind the box on top of the box or just forget the box and be creative and different. Spread the Word!

Length – less than 5 minutes

Subject – Celebrating our learning and use of ICT in Education

Prizes – there will be some – we will even arrange to help shoot the video clip with the winning entry
