Scottish Learning Festival 2008

The Scottish Learning Festival is in Wednesday 24^th and Thursday 25^th September 2008. It is the biggest education event in Scotland and one of the most unique education events in the world – it’s free!

.

I’ve presented at the Scottish Learning Festival (SLF) for the last few years and this year I have a set myself a massive agenda. Before the SLF it’s become customary within the ScotEdu Blogosphere to up-load your itinerary.

.

I hope to see some of you in the keynotes, seminars and exhibition space. Drop me an email if you fancy meeting up for a coffee, beer or just a chat.

.

I’ll also be at Teachmeet on the Wednesday evening.
