About Me
|
I am an educational consultant and e-learning facilitator. Previously I have been a primary school teacher and deputy principal for many years. My passions are student inquiry and using technology to support and enhance learning.
This page has links to my websites, Pinterest boards etc. For those working in secondary schools I have developed a sister site LwDT Support - Secondary. If you wish me to provide PLD to your school or organisation you can click here and type my name into the first box. I am accredited for NZ Ministry of Education-funded PLD or for school-funded PLD. More information can be found here. Tweet to share the site with your colleagues.

"....Computers are not rescuing the school from a weak curriculum, any more than putting pianos in every classroom would rescue a flawed music program. Wonderful learning can occur without computers or even paper. But once the teachers and children are enfranchised as explorers, computers, like pianos, can serve as powerful amplifiers, extending the reach and depth of the learners."
