I’m a great believer in taking lots of small steps to make a bigger gain. Incremental improvements that you get better and better at through deliberate practice is one of those things that make us better teachers in the classroom. Often when it comes to technology, one of the biggest…
In my series of secret #edtech weapons, for my third post I thought I would share the amazing G-Hold that I have on my iPad. I was approached some time in 2016 by Alison Grieve on Twitter. She had developed a product to go onto your tablet which she called…
As a teacher, making effective use of edtech can be difficult because in order to get a great looking product to share with children to support their learning can take time. Not with Quik by GoPro though. Don’t get me wrong, I love iMovie and Adobe’s Premiere Clip but whilst they…

I’ve long been a fan of using augmented reality and virtual reality too. So much so I wrote a book about it (free on iBooks Store here and whilst a bit old now, it’s still quite helpful, I feel). Things have moved on a gear since that book and I’m seriously…
As promised, here is another of my presentations from #BETT2017. This time I was looking at tools that you can use on your iPad or other iOS device to make your life as a teacher easier… much easier. Focusing primarily on free tools from Apple, the keynote involved me discussing and…
As posted the other day when I shared my ‘Making IT work with iPad’ post, I am currently working through sharing my different presentations from #BETT2017. This post will contain my presentation that looked at different tools you can use on your iPad to support AFL in the classroom. One…
One of the best forms of CPD I’ve ever received have come directly as a result of becoming an Apple Distinguished Educator (ADE). If you’re using Apple technologies in your everyday teaching practice and doing some amazing things as a result, then this is one professional learning network that you…
