Ideas start here: BBC Scotland's new Learning portal

BBC Scotland is in the process of relaunching its Learning portal and I'm honoured to be part of it, with the first article in a new regular column on what's happening or will maybe happen in learning this year. No space for comments on the BBC article (yet) but feel free to leave your views here.

The biggest education fair on the planet

Until Saturday night you'll find me over at Connected Live, blogging, podcasting and vodcasting from BETT, at London Olympia, trying to capture some of the innovations and excitement along with 30,000 other people.

I'll also be attempting the occasional blog post in between compering Friday night's TeachMeet08, which is shaping up to be fairly mega, too. Thanks to some incredibly generous sponsorship from Learning and Teaching Scotland, Emap, RM, Edutxt, Futurelab and Middlesbrough City Learning Centre and Amazing Interactives Ltd, we have

• free drinks for everyone (for a limited period),
• some great AV,
• free wifi,
• the incredible space of the Apex room,
• 3D projection screens and
• the whole thing on a Second Life island.

I also owe a huge thanks to Martin Jack at Think Different Events for helping me sew all this together. Come over to the Connected Live blog to follow all the fun!
