Heads of Computing meeting
The team met with Heads of Computing on Friday at the Menzies Hotel in Glasgow. It was a very busy agenda, which covered all of the developments which have taken place, and are currently taking place, in this subject area.
There were presentations from various people. I gave an overview of developments.
Gillian Leitch spoke about the new National Certificates.
Caroline showcased the Internet Safety unit.
Angela spoke about HNC/D Interactive Media.
Tony Gurney, of SFEU, told us about a new national student forum.
There were also presentation from Colin Maxwell (from Adam Smith College) about Adobe, and one from Michael Kowbel about Computer Clubs for Girls.
The event seemed to go well and, I think, attendees got a lot out of it. For my own part, it’s always to good to hear from practitioners – which reminds me what really matters to people.
