Large Meeting Room- John Muir House, Haddington.
Tomorrow we will be holding this month’s EduBuzz Open Meeting. These meetings are open to anyone who has a genuine interest in the latest developments in East Lothian’s online community. If you haven’t been to one of these meetings before, and you are curious, [...]
Although I was only able to attend the Scottish Learning Festival for one day, I was able to attend a number of fantastic seminars and the brilliant TeachMeet. One particular seminar which I found really useful was Derek Robertson’s. Derek is currently on a secondment with Learning and Teaching Scotland. During the course of the [...]
As always, this weekend has been manically busy. However, I have finally found the time to catch up with my online reading and writing. I was aware that this week’s copy of the TES was to contain an article on Glow, which it does. I was not expecting this, however. If you haven’t read this [...]
Nick Hood is a teacher of Physics at Kirkcaldy High School in Fife. I originally met Nick back in 1992 when I was a keen member of Forth Valley Branch of the Pony Club. Since those days, both of us have ventured into the teaching profession. Over the last year Nick has been designing and [...]

Luke Francis is a friend and colleague of mine at Knox Academy. Luke is a teacher of RMPS. He [...]
Back in January, I invited readers and others to join me on FaceBook. FaceBook is a form of Social Media that, in my opinion. Is far superior to Bebo. FaceBook was created by a group of Harvard undergraduates. Originally you required a valid Matriculation number to join, though now it is open to anyone. Unlike [...]
This afternoon I attended May’s EduBuzz meeting at John Muir House, chaired by Don Ledingham. As always there was a lot to discuss, though the development of EduBuzz in East Lothian was our main topic. This initiative has come on leaps and bounds within the last five months. This is largely due to the ongoing [...]
Last week, whilst down at my local rugby club, I had the opportunity to liaise with a number of individuals from various companies and businesses. Alan Bradshaw of Health Promotion Solutions had arranged and coordinated the event at George Heriot’s RFC to allow individuals within Edinburgh to network. All attendees were asked to give a [...]
Yesterday I spent the afternoon at BarCamp. This was the first BarCamp in Scotland. The idea is that everyone there should present a short session. There were lots of people speaking with the thread of ICT being common. The choice of who to go and see was a difficult one. My first port of [...]
Tomorrow I am going to attend BarCamp.
‘BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees’.
If you are interested in the latest digital technologies and you think you have something to contribute, why [...]
