SIOCE. EduScotICT – Objective 3: Promoting New Behaviours. The Scottish Government is carrying out a consultation exercise into the future of ICT in Scottish Education.

In short, there is a real sense that this is too important to get wrong, or to ignore the views of everyone and anyone with an interest in Scottish Education’s approach to ICT.
