The Raspberry Pi foundation and Code Club are planning a series of events in Scotland in the Autumn term. Â Dates and venues are still to be announced, however you can sign up right now to be alerted when details are finalised.
Sign Up Here:Â http://www.raspberrypi.org/picademy/register-your-interest/
Past PiCademy and Code Club events have been well received by participants and events quickly fill up. Â We’d encourage anyone with an interest in using the Raspberry Pi in the classroom to sign up for alerts.
Raspberry Pi have also released a new booklet, which is available in electronic format, showcasing ideas for using Raspberry Pis in the classroom.  You can download it here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/education/magpi-educators-edition/
Indeed, the RaspberryPi website in general is an excellent resource with lots of ideas for lessons and projects showcased in their Education section (http://www.raspberrypi.org/education/). Â Remember that the MagPi magazine is also freely available to download at http://www.magpi.cc.
I’ve personally started using the Raspberry Pi much more in lessons, and am fortunate to have a class set of them following investment from Perth & Kinross council. Â I can’t recommend the hardware, software and educational resources enough whether you just want to add a few exemplars into the course (set up a LAMP server with wordpress for Higher?) or give more able students a challenging project (use a Micro:bit to control a Scratch game!).
Enjoy! (& have a great summer holiday!)
