Resources and training documents I have created for a variety of training sessions
International travel is something that I really love. As a child my parents weren’t really into it and it wasn’t until I went on the French exchange as a teenager I got my first experience of travelling abroad. Jump forwards a few years to the work I am doing now…
I think of myself as being really fortunate to have been blogging like I have for such a long time. I look back at the things I’ve done, the people I’ve worked with, the impact I’ve had and I feel really proud. When I first started out sharing like I…
As noted in some of my tweets recently I am undertaking some work with Independent Thinking on the Isle of Man this week. It’s a really exciting project. My part of it is looking at what it takes to be a modern educator. I obviously have my points of view…
There’s so much talk of how to make successful use of technology in the classroom. Even just yesterday afternoon, friend and Assistant Principal of Surbiton High School José Picardo was asking what to me seems (sorry) a blindingly obvious (to me) question on Twitter: Teachers: Now that we have Google, is it…

I am very fortunate to be involved with a UK / Japanese initiative at the moment, looking at bringing our two cultures closer together. The Japanese teachers are very keen to connect their students with UK students. If you would like to connect, I’ve put a Google form below for you…

A little taller, new experiences, maybe with a tan, a little more street-wise, complaining their wrists hurt because their writing practice has fallen by the…
I was reminded last week on the power of Twitter which brought together 250 education professionals to London for #TMLondon. Selfies, trending, hashtag, learning and sharing all took place and not only were there 250 teachers there, there were more than 200 viewing online at the same time too. It…
TeachMeet London was a superb night. When I was asked to be involved, I was very happy to do so. Having organised a fair few and supported many others, I knew I’d be able to help out and hopefully add some value. The record of the night is immense. It…
