We are pleased to announce that SLF Extra 2010 is now live! The aim for this year’s Glow input is to bring you as much of the action as we can, right to your desktop, through Glow. There’s a sleek and cool homepage (in a very nice shade of SLF pink!) with links to all the important content that SLF Extra offers: you can visit the forum and discuss the festival before, during and after the two-day event; you can access the Glow Live Blog which, wait for it folks… will be bringing you LIVE footage from seminars as well as snippets of goodies from our roving reporters in the Glow team. We will also have the Keynote speakers LIVE from the Clyde Auditorium as well as feeds from our bloggers, tweeters and the budding photographers who will keep you updated through Flickr.

We realise that not everyone can escape from school to get to the festival itself, so we will make it our SLF mission to make sure you don’t miss out on the shenanigans in Glasgow. We may, ourselves, be worn-out at the end of the two days, but we will do our level best to wear out the carpets of the SECC as well. With sensible shoes on and cameras in hand, we will work tirelessy in bringing you as much of the action as we can and SLF Extra is where you go to find it.

If you are lucky enough to be visiting the event itself, this year, SLF Extra also has links to seminar bookings and the festival programme as well as details of the Keynote speakers and the conference theme. Want to know what’s selling-out quickly so you don’t miss out? Yes, SLF Extra can tell you that too.

It’s now less than three weeks until the Scottish Learning Festival returns for 2010 offering a unique opportunity to discover what is happening in education across the country. As Curriculum for Excellence reaches full adoption across Scotland, SLF 2010 aims to provide the chance to find out about successful, innovative approaches to learning and teaching.

This year’s conference programme includes inspirational keynote addresses from Michael Russell MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Eric Booth, leading Arts and Creative Learning Consultant, Richard Gerver, inspirational leader and educator and Professor Sugata Mitra, Professor of Educational Technology from Newcastle University.

Spotlight sessions are available throughout the event as well 160 seminars over the two days. Host of SLF for several years, Heather Reid, OBE, will for the first time be delivering a spotlight session. Don’t miss your opportunity to come along and hear Heather talking about Climate Change as a Context for Learning. In addition to the conference programme, the exhibition will provide access to 200 exhibitors of educational resources and a whole host of features including the Scottish Education Village, the Health and Wellbeing Zone, the Education Showcase and much more.

As well as the usual two day festival new for 2010 SLF is introducing Twilight sessions; a full conference programme running until 18.30 on the Wednesday evening including a keynote address from Eric Booth, a number of seminars and the chance to explore the exhibition.
