About Me: I live in a small town near Plymouth, England, and currently work for a company that specialises in web-based technologies, but has recently branched out into education. I am football (soccer) mad, and also enjoy cricket and (slowly) developing my musical talents in my spare time.

I left full-time education five years ago, and since returning to the education sector have been intrigued and awestruck by the way that Education and Technology are evolving together, even since my recent time at College. In joining this network, I hope to further my understanding of this evolution and its implications for the future of learning by listening to the views and opinions of the other members of the network.
