About
Learning and Teaching is about how we, as teachers, create meaning for ourselves and others, how we interact and collaborate, and how we intentionally create and innovate using the tools at our disposal. Replace the word "teachers" with "students" for a minute and see that the same objectives apply. Let's ask ourselves, as teachers, how actively are we helping to shape the world we need and how are we creating optimal conditions for our students to speak and act expressively, to help them to evolve as knowledgable, active, and creative participants of our societies...
Other than the hard skills we learn, how we approach, use, and respond to tech's ability to amplify or diminish our humanity is central to the values we bring to learning.
This website has been created to curate examples of good practice as observed across all subjects in an evolving and transformative educational environment. Never before has the role of EdTech been as important than during the Covid-19 pandemic, when millions of teachers and school children were suddenly plunged into an, often new, online environment overnight.
There is no doubt of EdTech's role, in its ability to create more personalised and immersive learning experiences for students of all ages. Whether students need to be prepared for examination in upper secondary and university or whether insatiable 10 year olds yearn for more knowledge, more experiences, more meaningful interaction, and autonomous learning we can all help to make a difference by sharing and exchanging our thoughts, ideas, processes and outcomes and learning from each other.
Who am I?
I'm just a teacher, albeit, a passionate one about bringing transformative education to my lessons and to others who want to learn how. My classroom is my canvas and I try to make it a warm welcoming space whether offline or online. If it's not an inviting space with the right level or variation of challenging activity, learning ceases to be meaningful. The content we create to facilitate learning matters. My background is in Computer Science and Music which I teach to IB Level and I also lead and teach MIT's STEAM programme.
