One of this year’s main themes has been to support A Curriculum for Excellence.

Has the programme of seminars helped to gain an understanding of the current thinking?

Seminars have explored many viewspoints from the different partner organisation and across the age range - which has given the clearest view of the purposes and principles for the whole curriculum?

Peter Peacock, in his ministerial address at SETT 2006 has challenged teachers to ‘change or move on’.

Is this challenge the best way forward to achieve professional standards for Scottish education?

Are we moving to a post McCrone era?

Will this help to make Scottish Education the ‘best in the world’?

The All about Glow seminar was very popular and has introduced many professionals to the tools and professional development opportunities which will be available to Scottish schools.

Are you inspired by what you heard, and do you think that these services will meet your needs?

So - how’s it going. How many of you were fired up by the Creating Communities seminar and will soon be putting Ewan’s tips to go use? Was the seminar good at de-mystifying the uses of social software?

Remember the TeachMeeto6 event to get to see the faces of your online colleagues.
