Yesterday I managed to attend my first, and what subsequently turned out to be, my last, Exc.el meeting. There had been two previous meetings of this open forum but I hadn’t managed to get down to John Muir house in time.
Basically Exc.el represents a long term commitment by East Lothian Council to develop and promote excellent teaching and learning. One of the most innovative and exciting aspects of Exc-el is that its success depends on every member of the education community, from parents and teachers, to support staff and administrators being able to contribute to the web site. Without the input of the vast variety of education professionals present within East Lothian it quite probably may have sunk without trace.
In fact the opposite is true. Due to its success it will very shortly evolve into edubuzz.org a necessary step because of its near exponential growth from a standing start to hosting over 660 blogs and registering around 4000 hits a day on the website in 18 months or so.
With interest from other local authorities in Scotland, the rest of UK and a multinational audience waiting to see what we do next, there really couldn’t be a more exciting place to be involved in education today.
Edubuzz.org will continue to develop and evolve but it can only do so with the continued input and support of those interested in developing the learning and teaching process.
If you want to get involved visit the edubuzz website, find out what its all about and you too can have a say in the future development of the teaching and learning experience in East Lothian.
If you work outwith East Lothian and like what you see then contact the edubuzz team HERE to see how Edubuzz could help change the evolution of your local authorities education service.
So its goodbye exc.el and hello edubuzz.
I cant wait !!
