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.

What’s assessable?

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-yearsfrom the edge of the observable universe,That's a good estimate withwell-defined error bars,And with the available information,I predict thatI will always be with you
