Another eventful week. Several accidents, flurries of snow and an overturned lorry on the Forth Bridge conspired against me today. However, following a 2 hour car journey from Edinburgh to SFEU to meet with Christine we eventually made the Mentor's Meeting at Cardonald College in Glasgow - only 1 hour late. Unfortunately we missed the tea and scones.
Going off to South Lanarkshire College this afternoon to spread the Subject Networks' word and discuss the BlendEd resources for Care and Business Administration. See next week's post for news on this visit.

Still practising
This has been another busy week with Blogs, Bloglines, Practitioners Plus and the Mentor's Forum providing sources of information and communication.
As part of our project Christine Mathers (Care) and myself visited Reid Kerr College to promote the subject networks, BlendEd and the other e-transformation projects at a Heads of Department Meeting. In addition we were able to plug Practitioners Plus, the Swap Shop, SameTime and Annamarie's workshops.
It was a successful session and there was genuine interest for the new initatives. Hopefully we have enlisted some new recruits.

Here goes
The promotional materials and e-zines have generated a lot of interest for the BlendEd materials which are the subject of the project for Christine and myself. This week we met to discuss and arrange our forthcoming visit to Reid Kerr College who have requested a visit to support the use of these resources and an information session about the Subject Networks in general.
Still trying to get to grips with the Blog and Bloglines so watch this space.
