Bill Boyd's 'Literacy Adviser' on Mixed Metaphor


  Bill Boyd 
  Originally uploaded by Edublogger

Scotland might not win the World Cup of Football but we must come somewhere up the top for getting our football metaphors into every conversational opportunity.

Bill Boyd is a colleague at Learning and Teaching Scotland who's been working on our Literacy guidelines, some of the first in the world to mention the importance of understanding texts in all their digital forms. He's just started blogging and his latest post encapsulates his sense of humour, and slight affection methinks for the lesser-known Scottish mixed metaphor.

His blog's great fun, and after taking some advice in getting started his Google Juice is running high: Literacy Adviser.
