Demystifying technology is a real motivation for me. The positive impact that using a small collection of apps or free online tools can have on not only your teaching but also your workflow and work/life balance should not be underestimated.
Whether it's using mobile devices to enrich the learning environment, evidencing learning using multimedia resources or exploring a variety of formative assessment tools, technology can transform 'what learning looks like'.
Being a teacher myself, I talk the language of practical classroom teaching and learning - not 'geek speak' - which I hope makes my sessions accessible and valuable for all.
iPad (IOS) and Mac (OS)
As an Apple Education Trainer I can offer Apple Professional Learning (APL) courses alongside training sessions for complete novices through to advanced sessions exploring the most cutting edge uses of iPad and Mac for teaching and learning.
SERVICES
Bespoke training
One size does not fit all; I specialize in listening to and working with schools to develop training sessions that are entirely appropriate for the needs of their staff. From whole school INSETs to small groups, department or year teams or one to one support - let me help to ensure you maximize the benefit to staff and pupils.
GSuite
Is your school considering using Google Apps for Education - or GSuite as it is now known? Or has the decision been made and you now need to enthuse staff as to the benefits of this platform? Let me work with staff to help them get the most out of this excellent suite of tools.
Ongoing support
Whether you are investing in devices or changing to 'go Google', it is essential to support staff and pupils as they develop their understanding of new pedagogies. Talk to me about arranging an ongoing program of training and support for staff that could include one to one sessions, planning, in-class support and evaluation sessions, drop-in clinics etc. to enable each member of staff to take their 'next steps'.
International schools
I have worked with a number of international schools and would be delighted to discuss training requirements for your school. My training sessions can be tailored to address the particular needs of your education system and curriculum.
