These are the slides I used at TeachMeetPerth Last week. You can see the images on a Flickr set.
I first got the idea for OpensourceCPD from TeachMeet at the Scottish Learning Festival in 2007 [you can see some pictures here]. Ollie Bray is widely quoted as saying that TeachMeet was his best Continuing Professional Development […]

The Edublog Awards are probably the closest thing we have in the Edublogosphere to an “Oscar” ceremony, but I wonder if I’m the only one thinking that there is something missing? What I want to know is, why there aren’t categories for pupil entries… and is it time to start a separate Awards ceremony for […]

After a false start earlier this year, there will definitely be at least one TeachMeet outside the Central Belt in 2008! Make space in your February for some top class CPD in Perth!
I think the technical term is ‘mug’, but I’ve started organising a TeachMeet technology and teaching professional development ‘unconference’ to be held in […]

Ewan McIntosh, National Advisor for Learning and Technology Futures, chats about why he attended SLF07, what he gained from the event and his hopes for the progression of Scottish Education over the next five years.

If you’re reading this, the chances are you’re already pretty sold on the potential of new web technologies in education. But how did that happen?
At last week’s Scottish Learning Festival I enjoyed hearing from John Johnston, at his talk Audience, Purpose and Conversation: the World Wide Display Wall, about how he got hooked. […]

After a really hectic week at the Scottish Learning Festival, C4 In The Wild and TeachMeet07, and having had barely a moment to catch up over the weekend, it’s with some trepidation that I enter tonight into Second Life to host a quick general discussion around the event. If you missed the F2F event and […]

Well, where to start! Although I was only able to attend the Scottish Learning Festival for one day, I managed to get along to a number of fantastic seminars and the brilliant TeachMeet07. I think others have pretty much summed it up!
I have just been reading through the contributions to this weblog and I […]

The second day of the Scottish Learning Festival is over and I’ve had another great day.
I started at the Islay High: School of Ambition talk which Andrew Brown blogged: Ambition - island style.. An inspiring presentation the school sounds as if it is a great environment for learning.
Next I spent some time on the show […]

…after a thoroughly stimulating day and a long drive home. To be honest the “live blogging” didn’t really get going since between journeys between the SECC and the Science Centre events were pretty much back-to-back.
It was nice to put a face to some names I’ve known for a while and also to see East Lothian […]

I had a great day yesterday between the Learning Festival and the ‘unconference’ fringe events in the Glasgow Science Centre. I started off blogging Ewan’s We?re Adopting! An Adoption Strategy for Social Media in Education, which I really enjoyed. Hearing how East Lothian have brought together technology to let teachers and students share makes it […]
