About Me.

Picture
Picture
Since commencing teaching more than twenty years ago, I have been an enthusiastic and innovative integrator of digital technologies in the classroom. I have worked as a classroom teacher, computer specialist, curriculum leader, and digital learning facilitator.

A dedicated lifelong learner, I have conducted action research into using iPads to promote creativity and collaboration, and am currently investigating the practices of classroom teachers as they begin to implement the Digital Technologies curriculum. I share my practice through blogging, websites, conference presentations and professional learning sessions.

Through my current role as Digital Learning Facilitator at Good News Lutheran School, and as an Apple Professional Learning Specialist, I am empowering teachers to use digital technologies to provide enriching and engaging learning opportunities that inspire students to make our world a better place.
