About this event

Join a debate with our panel to look at how social media technology like Skype and Twitter has impacted the education landscape - bringing new ideas and collaborative opportunities to both urban and rural populations. How are students and teachers connecting both locally and internationally in modern day classrooms and lecture theatres? Is the power and reach of online community changing how teachers teach and students learn? We'll look at programmes like Microsoft's MIE Experts which seeks to join creative and motivated educators together in a community of innovation. Join the conversation at Codebase Stirling - especially of interest to educators, students, community managers and parents.
