I was at the Becta Research Conference last week, presenting with Cathy Lewin on our work on the MILO project (well, actually it was Cathy’s turn to present and my turn to sit at the front and nod knowingly).
I was particularly interested in the way that there was an artist in each room, taking what they called ‘visual minutes’ of the session (the one from our session is available courtesy of Andy Black’s blog). Although my opinion is currently divided between ‘cool, shiny, pretty, accessible, I like’ and ‘waste of public money, bah humbug’, on the whole I think that any attempt to do something different at these types of event has to be applauded.
