ALT Scotland SIG - Open Scotland event

I attended the Open Scotland event on 3rd June 2014 at the University of Edinburgh.  The event aimed to "provide an opportunity for  ALT Scotland SIG members and the wider community to come together and share ideas and experiences of adopting and promoting open educational practices across all sectors of Scottish education". 

Notes from the best bits:

It is necessary to rethink what the product is as a photographer and 
Rethink what product is as a teacher
