About Me
My name is Jan-Marie Kellow and I am an educational consultant and MoE accredited facilitator, currently working for Te Whai Toi Tangata at the University of Waikato. Previously I have been a primary school teacher and deputy principal for many years. My passions include student inquiry, literacy, science/technology and using digital technologies to support and enhance learning.
This page has links to my websites, blogs etc.
For those working in secondary schools I have developed a Digital Fluency - Secondary site.
Once the refreshed Technology curriculum is released I will be posting updates here.

PLD: Digital Fluency, including the new Digital Technology curriculum areas remain a priority for MoE PLD. If you need free help with an application you can contact me (Jan-Marie Kellow) or Stephen Ross. Digital Fluency is one of the new priorities and applications can combine priority areas. Visit this webpage to download a Word version of the application so you can prepare a draft application ready to submit to the new online PLD application site. More information here.

"....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." Alan Kay
