About Me
I am an educational consultant and e-learning facilitator working for the University of Waikato. Previously I have been a teacher and deputy principal for many years. I have worked in a number of secondary schools supporting them to implement inquiry-based learning and to use digital technologies to support learning. My passions include student inquiry and using technology to support and enhance learning.

If you are looking for digital fluency support for primary schools my companion site will be useful. If you are looking for support with digital technologies curriculum areas then my Digi Tech site is the place to go.

This year we will be running several online and online/f2f digital fluency-related courses. "....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."
