Consolarium at SICTDG

On Friday 1st December I was given the opportunity to speak to the Scottish ICT Development Group (SICTDG) about the Consolarium and our plans for the promotion of the games and learning agenda within the Scottish context.

I had just started to deliver my talk when the fire alarm went off! As a result we had to postpone the presentation until after lunch.

Anyway, although I felt a little bit rushed within the 20 minute slot that I had please find attached my presentation for your perusal:

It was great to get such a good level of initial interest from the local authorities who were in attendance and I look forward to getting a number of the proposed projects up and running.
