Our keynote speaker is a busy man, but you can catch up with some of the issues that concern him by tapping into the blogosphere.

He appeared at the latest eTwinning event in Belgium, which was also attended by Ewan McIntosh, who was helping Scottish schools present their eTwinning projects to the rest of Europe. Ewan’s posts Stephen Heppell at eTwinning: 21st Century Learning and Q&A with Heppell give a good idea of the scope of the discussions that took place.

Back in January, Stephen was discussing Future Learning environments at the annual BETT show in London, Tomorrow’s Learners Today and a podcast is available on their feed (paste feed://www.heppell.net/podcast/bett2007/BETT_podcast.xml into your podcast subscription.)
