What is MirandaMod? MirandaMod is an informal, loosely structured unconference of like-minded educators to share ideas about the use of technology to inspire others. This will be the first of what we hope will become a regular feature in the MirandaNet calendar. It is likely that MirandMod will usually (but not always) be a fringe event following or attached to a formal MirandaNet seminar/workshop or meeting. It is hoped to establish an International dimension to this event Historically; Mod comes from the Gaelic word for a gathering, assembly or parliament.*
