I regularly share that I believe good edtech in the classroom has three purposes: it enhances learning, supports teaching, and reduces teacher workload. Another key factor in successful edtech in the classroom, which I often call my Bananarama principle, is that “it isn’t what you do, it’s the way that…
“The most dangerous phrase in the world is ‘we’ve always done it that way’” – Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Hopper We’ve all been there at some point. Stuck in a rut, that is. Sometimes it’s not serious – we can find ourselves doing things as we always have, simply because…
I’ve long shared what I call my Bananarama principle in that ‘It Ain’t [so much] What You Do It’s The Way That You Do It, And That’s What Gets Results’ and as such, it’s a great hook to use when thinking about your use of technology for any purpose. It’s…

For today’s post, I thought I’d share something a bit different than just five ways to do something. It’s still something I’m hugely passionate about and something I know that lots of schools seek advice upon, albeit not necessarily something for the classroom, per se. That said, devices in the…
One of the great things about having your own blog upon which to write is that you are in complete control of what you can share there. Bleurgh, see? Love Mick Lynch! There’s another. Solidarity with teachers! There’s another! I’ve really been enjoying the #FiveWaysEdu series and I’ve been really…
If you haven’t come across #ChatGPT yet, then what rock have you been hiding under? Every social media platform, news outlet, magazine, blog, podcast and vlog is talking about it. The opportunities provided by #ChatGPT are huge. I talked about it here in this recent post: Will AI Make Us…
