Professional conviviality: Get involved in Edutalk conversations across Scotland during 2011-12
August 23, 2011
Commentary by Stephen Downes
Something interesting in Scotland. "Teachers tend to enjoy opportunities to talk with familiar faces and new acquaintances away from the ‘chalkface’, and that it is often pleasant to do this away from, for example, employers', CPD, and union events, where agendas of one sort or another abound. We consider that respectful, face-to-face group interaction remains powerful and important, and that Web technologies should support, not replace this."
