Simon Lewis is a former computer science graduate who decided to become a teacher after the dotcom bubble burst in 2000. Through a series of fortunate events, Simon qualified in the UK, passed his SCG and settled in Carlow, where he is now the principal of Carlow Educate Together National School.

Simon gives courses to teachers in all aspects of ICT in education and publishes his course materials on his own web site, www.simonlewis.ie. His main interests at the moment are in Interactive Whiteboards, Cloud Computing, Blogging and using ICT as a learning tool effectively.

Simon has designed lots of web sites. Notably, he has written the web sites for his last two schools which have been awarded Scoilnet Star Sites. He also writes a number of blogs, most of which are useless, but some are well subscribed and read by tens of people. Anseo.net is his most popular.

When the .ie people allowed him to purchase SimonLewis.ie, he did so because there are a few Simon Lewis’ in Ireland, and he didn’t want them taking his name in vain.
