Dan Lea, 33, picked up the Becta Award for Next Generation Learning at this year's Teaching Awards UK at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane yesterday. The IT expert from Gearies Infant School, Ilford, developed teaching projects which have seen children as young as four managing their own blogs, discussing issues such as their pets or even death and mortality.

He was nominated for the award by a parent. Mr Lea said: "I'm humbled but also very, very proud. The learning comes first, but the technology gives them a chance to record things they might not be able to do in other ways."

Spyros Elia, 57, chairman of the governors at Brindishe Primary School and Hither Green Primary School in Lewisham, won Governor of the Year.
