I have been travelling (for “B”usiness) the last two weeks to two different cities whose names start with “B”. Birmingham and Berlin, both are really nice cities but I have to say that I feel special attraction to Berlin (it is an interesting city indeed).
In Birmingham I attended the JISC CETIS Conference 2007, Beyond Standards – Holistic Approaches to Educational Technology and Interoperability. It is well-known that there is a lot of activity in the UK regarding innovation in Technology Enhanced Learning and I could testify that participating in some of the interesting discussions that took place during the conference.
Because of the European Award in CSCL with which I was co-honored within the Kaleidoscope Network of Excellence, I was invited to the Kaleidoscope Symposium in Berlin. It was really intensive and interesting (with demos, presentations, discussions, etc.) and there were more than 260 people from 35 different countries. Berlin also provided me with the opportunity to meet people from Valladolid, which made me happy during these days.
BTW, the photo that is now in the header shows a view of “Serra de Cabrera” (in Catalonia), where I also spent one of last weekends…
