About Laurie
I blog as a way of trying to capture where I have been and where I am going - hence Laurie Learning Log.
Any views or opinions expressed in this blog are entirely my own.
I am Director of Learning and Technology at Learning and Teaching Scotland (LTS).
I have a wide ranging remit within LTS including Glow, LTS Online Service, Scottish Learning Festival and Corporate ICT support to LTS staff.
My background is in teaching and school/local authority management - Edinburgh (WHEC and Drumond CHS), Tayside (Alyth and Craigie High) and Fife (Glenwood High). My previous post was with Dundee City Council as ICT adviser.
I joined LTS in June 2001 as Head of Future Learning and Teaching and since then have held the posts of Head of ICT Development, Director of ICT Development and Director of ICT.
I also have had experience as an elected member of Dundee District Council and as a part-time lecturer teaching the postgraduate MSc/MEd at Edinburgh University.
