Stinglehammer

Hi, I'm Stinglehammer (Ewan) and I currently live in Glasgow, Scotland, although my home town is Newburgh, Aberdeenshire.

I'm a Wikimedian in Residence at The University of Edinburgh.

I have a second Wikipedia account (EMcAndrew) which I use for training purposes.

This is one of the many reasons why we do this: WATCH "Life in a Day - Abel and his laptop" (with thanks to Martin Poulter for providing the heads up on the link)

If you ever feel like getting involved in some of our projects or training sessions then message me, by all means. I'd be glad to hear from you.

The project page for the residency is located here: W:Wikipedia:University of EdinburghWikipedia:University of Edinburgh and my blog is here: http://thinking.is.ed.ac.uk/wir/.

About me

I have an MA in English (Literature & Language) & Modern History from University of Glasgow, a postgraduate diploma (PgDip) in Software Development from Glasgow Caledonian University and a PGDE in English & Media Teaching from University of Strathclyde. I also hold a TEFL certificate from I-to-I and have undertaken short courses in creative writing & screenwriting.

Currently, I am studying on the Information Management MSc course at the University of Northumbria (accredited by CILIP and the ARA) as well as trying to find time for the following MOOC courses:

Things I like

I love travelling, music, history, cinema and literature, and this all feeds into my regular day-job of teaching of English & Media Studies. I'm interested in all kinds of stories (movies, books, plays) and create my own stories from time to time. Above all, I'm passionate about the idea of lifelong learning and broadening your horizons. Hence why I'm here and why I'm trying to learn how to play the mandolin (badly).
