We are pleased to announce an exciting new series of specialised professional development short courses in Media and ICT Education, all taking place at the London Knowledge Lab during the spring/summer term of 2012.

These specialised courses offer learning and developmental opportunities drawn from the range of practice and policy areas active at the IOE and include sessions such as "Making Computer Games in the Classroom", "Animation in the Classroom" and "Classroom Video Production and Performing Arts".

28th November saw Lord Jim Knight visit the London Knowledge Lab to give a talk on 'Personal Technology - the opportunity for one-to-one in class and at home' (read on to access the recording). The talk was followed by questions and discussion with the delegates who included a group of visitors to LKL from Denmark. Lord Knight's previous roles in the last Labour government included Minister for Schools and Minister for Employment.
