In schools people are busy creating amazing stuff that they think;

– only for my classes in my way;
– its not good enough to share;
– not sure what the copyright rules are

So they don’t share.

What if we built stuff together? What if we co-created materials?

Ian Stuart is hosting a Hack day at Microsoft Scotland’s Office in Edinburgh.

He is looking for teachers to come together and start developing multimedia textbooks based on OneNote. This day is aimed at National Courses as this is an immediate pressure point for lots of teachers.

On Saturday 31st January, he is looking to welcome people from 9 am with a kick off time at 9.30 with the space available till 4.30. Ideally he wants people to work together to form groups and set targets for themselves. Ian hopes these groups will continue to develop the Notebooks.

Ian is also looking to arrange more of these hackdays in different parts of the country.

If you can’t make it on the day, that’s ok. You can join in online as the work continues.
