Have been this week at the eLive conference and exhibition in Edinburgh. The welcome was pleasant and the atmosphere relaxed. There were only 32 exhibitors, but there was an eclectic variety of seminars and keynotes. What came across very strongly, was the City of Edinburgh’s commitment to ICT in all its forms, in education. I didn’t blog about it there, because I didn’t know, initially, there was going to be wifi freely available, and on the second day, was too interested in what was going on, to spend time doing so, in case I might miss something. We had a mini Sett event in Argyll a couple of years ago that had the same sort of aura. Several of the exhibitors there expressed interest when I mentioned it, so I have encouraged them to be in touch with those who might be interested in repeating the experience. So why did size matter? In two days I was able to visit all of the stands, have meaningful conversation and demonstrations at each, and picked up some great ideas and material to evaluate, something for every stage in my school. Not all good stuff costs money, unless ‘Time is money.’ Picked up some very simple solutions to very complex problems. More to follow.
