About Me

A primary school teacher, but for nearly 30 years I've been providing advice, support and training to schools in using educational technology. Working primarily in Wales but have been know to cross the border once in a while ;-) I find that writing a blog often helps in forming and articulating the things that I'm currently thinking about, reading or have observed. It's an opportunity for me to reflect, albeit in a public place. Feel free to comment on anything I've written, there's nothing worse than 'talking' to oneself. They are mostly my own personal thoughts, ideas and comments, unless I've accidentally borrowed them from others and for which I apologise.
