04/09/2009 - Funding to Support Ways of Learning with Technology (UK)
Futurelab call for ideas on games for learning.
NESTA Futurelab has announced that the next “Call for Idea” will open on the 01 September 2009. Under the Call for Ideas Nesta will provide support and funding of up to £25,000 to turn new ideas about ways of learning with technology into working prototypes. This year NESTA wants to support ideas that push the current boundaries of how technology is used for learning; and challenge assumptions about how teaching and learning happen. This call is open to anyone within the UK. This could include teachers or learners, IT developers, schools and universities as well as commercial companies, etc. Previously ideas supported include “ShoutBox” a cross-platform tool which allows young people to recognise, capture and showcase their informal out-of-school learning experiences. Young people generate and collate different forms of content using their mobile phone and then share this online, tagging their learning with different categories such as sports, work, art, music etc.
Applications for this call for ideas need to be submitted by the 08 October 2009.
