Alter Ego: The EdTechist
I am a Teacher, Subject Leader, Author (in progress), Blogger And Podcaster. I write regularly on the topic of Educational Technology and develop CPD courses for teachers. I’m dad to two beautiful girls and I am currently Head of Digital Technologies in a Grammar School in County Antrim…
What is EdTech?
Why this is different
Many teachers get into the 'consultancy gig' as a way to raise their profile. The difference is that I haven't left the classroom. What I share, I use, have learned, researched, proven through edit, use, reflect, evaluate, repeat. I face the same stresses you face: engagement, behaviour, management, grades. But I believe I can make your job easier and more fulfilling than it already is. I fully believe I can help you find a way to work smarter, not harder. But whatever you do, please don't ever call me a 'guru.'
Sharing the Experience
Specialising in how teachers use educational technology throughout school, it has always been an interest of mine to improve schools, teachers and the pupil learning experience in any way possible.
