The format for this session will be that of a "Critical Conversation", involving decision-makers in technology adoption in schools in the issues of finding the right balance between risk and reward of using emerging participative digital media in the classroom.
There will be facilitation and input from Ewan McIntosh, former National Advisor on Learning and Technology Futures to the Scottish Government, through its education agency Learning and Teaching Scotland. Ewan has successfully implemented policy and advised policymakers on decisions that have, over the past years, resulted in a successful opening of access to most social networking sites, video sharing and publishing websites in certain Local Authorities.
