Richard Millwood is maintaining a National Archive of Educational Computing web site:
"This is the (emerging) web site for the UK National Archive of Educational Computing, documenting the development of learning technology through its invention, application, policies, practices, organisations and people over the last half century."
Richard is looking for sponsorship, and is organising a conference in London on 9 July at the Institute for Education - A one day conference sharing hindsight about learning with technology to provide insight for now and the future. He is also looking for volunteers. Here is Richard's list of options for volunteers:
- 1 SAY WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT - identify your own interest / experience strengths and perhaps join a relevant 'decade' team;
- 2 TELL A STORY OR TWO - create personal, descriptive, narrative and interpretive material about the history of educational computing - there is a form for submitting your story on the website in the Stories section ( http://www.naec.org.uk/stories )
- 3 CONTRIBUTE STUFF - add text, photos, sounds, movies and links to other stuff on the net - contact me if you wish to add to this web site directly;
- 4 EDIT THE MATERIAL - contribute by searching, scanning, writing, reviewing and organising the team effort;
- 5 ADVISE ON CURATION - tell us how we should organise material, describe good practice for all the above;
- 6 ORGANISE MEETINGS - help support events to enjoy doing this work together;
- 7 FIND SUPPORT - formulate further plans, seek funding and sustain the effort.
