Susan Galloway and Katie Barrowman are English and Media teachers in Glasgow, Scotland. Their unapologetic enthusiasm and unashamed geekiness leads them to believe that the possibilities for digital technologies in education are limitless. They're making it their mission to encourage Scottish educators to get on board and aim for the stars!
In true Scottish storytelling fashion, there is a tale, which may or may not be true, that tells of when Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence was in its infancy, in the middle of the first decade of the millennium. The tale was that - along with the areas of Literacy, Numeracy and Health & Wellbeing – ICT was to be a responsibility of all practitioners. This would mean that every Scottish educator would be required to explicitly take ownership of supporting and tracking the digital skills of the learners in their care. Then sadly, the story goes, for some reason ICT was quietly removed from the ‘responsibility of all category’ and subsumed under the banner of technologies.
