In order to nurture and grow games based learning developments in classrooms throughout Scotland it’s important that we are able to take the Consolarium ‘On Tour’ so to speak so that teachers and education managers who maybe can’t get to Dundee can engage with the debates about games in the classroom and best of all get the opportunity to try some of the games so that they can begin to give some thoiught to how certain games may impact on teaching and learning in their particular context.

Last week I attended a CPD event in Inveraray (Argyll & Bute) for Headteachers od small schools. What a beautiful drive it was up there, an unexpected perk! I met with a group of teachers who were very open to the effective and innovative use of ICT. Lots of interest created and enthusiasm for what we ‘might be able to do in class’ was great to see. It was also hearteneing to work with a group of teachers who were able to see past the technology in order to focus on the learning.

It was my first professional visit to Argyll & Bute and one that was very enjoyable and that will, I’m sure, lead to the development of some great initiatives.
