- About Me
- Head of ICT
I think therefore I am
I'm the Head of ICT in a private catholic school in Ealing, West London, UK.
I teach 11 - 18 year olds with an oversight of the ICT curriculum from when they are 5 in our Junior School.
I am enjoy my subject: all the new ideas and exciting technologies, but mostly I love seeing the kids do things they think are truly marvellous.
I also teach teachers how to use ICT in the classroom. This is stressful because busy and successful teachers don't necessarily want to change what they are doing and learn new (technology) things or even spice up their classroom. IF I work 1-2-1 with a teacher I get an excellent response.

- Hi Dai,
I teach 12-13 year olds civics and geography. Would you be interesting in our classes collaborating? First semester we study civics (our English heritage, foundations of American government, etc.) and then second semester we study geography and culture of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
