Today (Mon 17th Oct) the Scottish Government held an ICT Summit bringing together around 100 stakeholders and other interested parties to a discussion forum.
The pre-summit activities included establishing a wiki to which all could contribute. The event itself was tweeted under the hashtag #EduScotICT.
Each participant has been asked to go back and extend the debates around issues to their collleagues and PLNs.
