We are pleased to announce that the 6th Let’s Talk About Txt! conference will take place at the University of Bath on Wednesday 19th May 2010. We are very pleased to be working with Andy Ramsden at the university to bring this event to the South West. This is a free one day event and is designed to provide insights into how the education users are making use of this simple technology. There will be presentations and workshops from experienced users in colleges and universities in the following themes: Teaching and Learning, Marketing and Student Recruitment and Student Support. There will be an opportunity to network with peers, hear about the latest txttools technology and share your experiences and ideas. Spaces are strictly limited to 55 delegate places and you can register online here or email your details and reserve your place to: conferencebooking@txttools.co.uk.
