On the first Wednesday of May we broadcasted our third episode of ‘Loose Learners’. John Johnston is a primary school teacher in Scotland and Mariana Funes is a Psychologist teaching in higher education and we explore issues that we find interesting and that we feel affect those of us using the web for educational purposes in some way.

The event had two distinct, but related objectives. The first objective is to consider the issue of digital and social media use in learning environments from a policy and leadership perspective and the second objective will focus on digital practices already taking place in schools or as part of a learning experience. The event will be interactive, striking a balance between information giving, showcasing of good practice, discussion and creative ‘making’ activities.
