#Bmoble2011–The Bradford Massive

I had the real pleasure of attending the Bmoble conference in Bradford, here is more information on the conference: http://www.bradfordschools.net/bmoble/

I have to say that it was one of the best I have attended this year, it was a really nice atmosphere combining innovation, excitement yet relaxed, a very enjoyable conference. I urge you to book onto this conference for next year because it was awesome.

This is the first of several posts to come, this post is about my talk that I did in the morning after joining the jet set flying up to the conference from the West Country. First of all I would like to thank the Bradford team for inviting me to talk and also thanks to all of those who attended and contributed to it. It was called Top 10 Tech Tools for 2011 and it did exactly what it said on the tin. We even made a songsmith!

To get access to the amazing FREE Microsoft stuff I showed then sign up to the partners in learning network which is free for teachers. It is an online community where you can get free resources or collaborate and join forums with other teachers. There are teachers on there from all over the world. It is on this community that you can download Songsmith for free: http://uk.partnersinlearningnetwork.com/Pages/default.aspx
