Resources and training documents I have created for a variety of training sessions
Thankfully, the face of CPD in education (that’s Continuing Professional Development, with the emphasis on the Continuing element) has been changing in recent years. I’ve always recognised the importance of certain types of INSET activity, such as: bringing colleagues together to share whole school data and results when everyone comes…
In a recently made available study on sequencing, Roelle, Froese, Krebs, Obergassel and Waldeyer shared some interesting highlights in their paper “Sequence matters! Retrieval practice before generative learning is more effective than the reverse order”. The paper certainly reinforces previous findings related to spaced practice and retrieval practice. It should…
My work with schools most commonly focuses on a number of key areas. Primarily it is based on teaching and learning with technology, purposeful and effective approaches to using technology in the classroom, leadership support around digital strategy and what the evidence says works when it comes to technology in…
Anyone who knows my work in education and technology will know that it always starts with either the pedagogy or how it can improve systems and/or processes. A great starting point for that is to take a good long look at the evidence. This can come in many forms such…

So what? Such a useful question to ask when it comes to thinking about what you can do and then perhaps should do with technology in education. So much technology has a propensity to be gimmicky. It is a fine balancing act to choose between those activities with technology that…
In recent years, a welcome change in the world of edtech has been the developing conversation around the effective use of technology being reinforced by a strong evidence base. This is something that I have been championing for a long time, along with many others. Too many companies have, over the years, sold snake oil…
If you’re wanting to find out about the latest innovations and developments in technology for education then you’d often normally find out about them through attendance at conferences and events. Sure, you’ll use social media to help you and having a great PLN (Professional Learning Network) can help with that….
As you’ll have noticed in my last post, things have been pretty busy in 2021. In a year that has seen me at my busiest in terms of work, speaking, consultancy and events, one of the biggest undertakings of 2021 have been my new part-time role as Head of Education…
