Strategic School Design - A Conversation with Ewan McIntosh

Leading projects around the world for clients in education and
industry, Ewan McIntosh is the passionate and energising tour de
force behind NoTosh. 


As the name suggests, NoTosh is a jargon-free but game-changing
strategic consultancy with a passion for learning and a
conviction that innovation and creativity can change the way
people think, the way they learn and the way they work


A highly regarded keynote speaker at events around the world,
Ewan is also the author of How To Come Up With Great Ideas and
Actually Make Them Happen and regularly writes about learning on
his blog (and previously here).


Ewan’s professional career started as a French and German high
school teacher in Scotland back in the 1990s. He wanted to find
new ways to help students engage with their learning and felt
strongly that technology was both critical to this and underused
in the classroom, so his classes were among the first in Europe
to podcast and blog as part of their daily learning.


Ewan then became the National Advisor on Learning and Technology
Futures for the Scottish Government, and in 2006, with some
friends in a pub in Edinburgh he began Teachmeet as a way to
enable teachers to network and learn from peers and disrupt the
traditional model of prescribed teacher professional development.


In 2008, Ewan became the Digital Commissioner at Channel 4. It
was there that he became fascinated by the strategies and tactics
that colleagues were using to create imaginative and engaging
digital services for young people. So he founded notosh in order
to make similar impacts for young people in education.
