McIntosh Ewan ...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.
