I guess many of the teachers moving ICT forward in Scotland got a kick start from the Masterclass community. What some folk probably do not know is that Masterclass is still alive. Local Authorities no longer receive funding to support their Masterclassers, but the online community is still active. What is more this once closed community is now open to others to join.

This community is for people in Scottish education who are interested in using ICT in education and helping schools embed ICT into teaching and learning.

If you are looking for a place to join in discussions about all aspects of ict in education and are now quite ready for the in the wild blogosphere Masterclass is a good place to start. you can head over to the LTS Online Communities - Log-in page to get details of how to join up.

One of the things you will be able to read is my weekly set of links for the educational blogosphere, carefully filtered post that have caught my eye. As a wee taster here are the links I posted earlier today:
