Last week we held the fifth session at Knox Academy in Haddington.
One teacher’s feedback:
“I really enjoyed the presentation last night, it is to be discussed at my Departmental Meeting next week as we don’t have anything like this in my region at present. Excellent delivery of a very serious issue - well done! “

This afternoon I attended May’s EduBuzz meeting at John Muir House, chaired by Don Ledingham.

On Monday, I [...]

And what [...]

Welcome to my new digital home!
This is my first post from Exc-el so I am hoping it reads well. After a tutorial with David Gilmour and a few hours of trial and error, David and I have successfully managed to migrate my webpages. Please browse at your leisure.
