"Learning Hubs" & Achievement Awards ceremony this evening

Meeting this morning about "Learning Hubs" - basic concept being the use of a 'school' as a central 'hub' or 'portal' for the wider community to have access to the internet and a rich variety of content relevant to that local area ... all sounded very feasible and I feel a pilot coming on! Apparently not that unusual to have this type of set-up in many parts of the U.S.

Standard Life Achievement Awards ceremony this evening ... very enjoyable event. Literally dozens of innovative projects up for the six main categories of award, and all of a really excellent standard. The ceremony itself was up at The Hub at the top of the Royal Mile, and made for a great venue and atmosphere.

So refreshing to be part of something so positive and celebratory - but will it generate the press coverage it so obviously deserves ... I'm not holding my breath fortunately ;-)
