I love gadgets. It has to be said. For me they represent the cutting edge of humanity and where we can go as a human race. When I used to watch Star Trek: Next Generation, as a teenager I used to say ‘never in my lifetime’ when I used to…
I have so many conversations with educators who think they aren’t any good. It’s such a sad state of affairs when the system gets so many of its teachers feeling so very low. We all have something to offer. So many of us have amazing practice that takes place in…
