So who am I? My name is Ian Addison and I am a primary school teacher and ICT co-ordinator. From September 2010 I have been responsible for the ICT at St John the Baptist Primary School, Waltham Chase, Hampshire.

Why have I got this blog? I started one in December 2009 to share my thoughts and ideas. I also thought that if I was making lesson plans, policies or silly projects then other people might want to look at them too, so here I am – ianaddison.net. I will share my thoughts, ideas and hopefully some interesting resources when I get chance.

From 2008-2010 I was seconded to work with Hampshire LA training teachers on using our VLE, Studywiz. This involved training teachers across Hampshire to use the system but also to think about how they could learn and share online.

I have been an ICT Mark Assessor since October 2008 and this involves me supporting and assessing schools that have decided to use the Becta Self-Review Framework for ICT.

In July 2010, I attended the Google Teacher Academy in London and I am now a Google Certified Teacher. In July 2011 I completed the Google Apps certification process and I am now a Google Apps for Education Certified Trainer.
