About Mark Clarkson
Mark can no longer claim to be a young(ish) ICT teacher, although he is still living and working in the North East of England.
He has been teaching for a few years now and spends large amounts of time trying to convert Windows users to at least TRY to OS X or Linux. He is also becoming more and more passionate about e-learning (although he would probably struggle to describe that in less than 6,000 words).
He is keen to embrace new and emerging technologies (although he still has fond memories of EGA displays and typing your computer games in from magazines) and is a self confessed (and somewhat proud) computer geek 
Mark’s greatest quest has been the search for the mythical beast known as the ‘work-life balance’. Despite many rumours and supposed sightings of this great winged creature, no substantial evidence of its existence has ever been found.
As well as this blog, you can usually find Mark on Twitter (@mwclarkson), posting as HappyHippy on the TES forums or in a darkened room with a terminal window and freeze dried coffee.
You can also have a look at his website (mwclarkson.co.uk) if you want to see some of the things he has been working on of late.
Mark doesn’t always refer to himself in the third person.
