We speak to Scottish education’s “video guy”, Blair Minchin. Blair is a primary teacher in Edinburgh and is one of the few Scottish teachers to become a regular vlogger, sharing what goes on in his classroom – from making silent movies, to using circus skills to explain data. 

He talks about his experience returning to school during a global pandemic, what makes for a good vlog, why he has no time for those who extol zero-tolerance approaches to behaviour management, and his strongly held belief that teachers have a duty to share their practice.
