Ewan
McIntosh...who am I...?
The blogger from edu.blogs.com who works most of
the time for Learning and Teaching Scotland, the
national education agency of Scotland. Occassionally I
can be found working on the Media Advisory Board
of Channel 4, but every week you’ll spot me in one
of the 45 schools in East Lothian Council, just to the
East of Edinburgh where I work with around 1000
teachers and advise the Head of Education and ICT
Team on all matters social media, productive
pedagogies and technology. In my free time I do
some consultancy for Governments, organisations,
corporations and private companies around the
world.

How’s it
assessable?

Why would
you assess it?

We are 12 billion light-years
from the edge,
That's a guess,
No one can ever say it's true,
But I know that I will always be
with you.

We are 13.7 billion light-years
from the edge of the observable
universe,
That's a good estimate with
well-defined error bars,
And with the available information,
I predict that
I will always be with you
