Just catching up with blogs and posts just had a great week off with family around Scotland.
Surprised and rather disappointed that no-one picked up on first speakers real point about wi-fi
Even the TES Article "Give us Some Coffee Shop Technology " missed main point.
I tuned in and heard a very erudite Rhys McKenna state that even foreign campsites now have wifi.
Starbucks have had free Wifi in UK since 2009.
The offices I left in 2002 had guest wifi available on request.
There is not a city centre I've been too in last few years without a wifi hotspot of some kind, nor usually a conference , you can sometimes even do it on a train.
If you just read this sort of coverage - you can hear the nae sayers being very understanding about schools struggling to compete with global corporates even if they are - Coffee Chains.
But campsites now do wifi ( our camp-site had it as well last summer ) - even some Scottish ones do - and lots of homes have wifi too - so for goodness sake why not schools. What more is there to talk about? or should we set up temporary under canvas learning centres with wifi ?
