| I'm over the moon that Channel 4 have decided to bring the In The Wild event to Glasgow, as a fringe event to this year's Scottish Learning Festival.

| Who needs educational TV when you have YouTube? |

| Tags: Digital Video Animation, Ltsfutures |
| I've just seen one of the best nature documentaries I've ever seen. It's been viewed by over 10.5m people. It wasn't an Attenborough, it wasn't feature length.

| Social media, and whether or not it's adopted in any organisation, is almost entirely down to the culture of the organisation. But having a culture that doesn't match the aspirations of openness and sharing that would make social media a natural progression for the organisation does not mean that all is lost. East Lothian Council does have a |

| They've got it! Originally uploaded by Edublogger After witnessing the madness of the last Harry Potter book going on sale in Harvard Square, Boston, last month, I wasn't too sure why so many young people (actually, increasingly aging fans) were so keen on the books.
