With over 10 years experience as an ICT teacher, I have taught and learnt how to effectively develop student ICT skills in the classroom.

My website hosts a number of articles and teacher resources that expand on my courses and further develop your teacher professional learning in these areas. I will continue to create more courses to ensure that our students are prepared for the 21st century.
