How Can I Support You?

My Coverage

With a rich experience spanning over eight years, I have honed my skills in a diverse range of areas, from hands-on technical support to strategic leadership and management. My primary objective is to empower educational institutions to harness the full potential of Educational Technology (EdTech), a journey that is both rewarding and challenging.

Having collaborated with schools nationwide, I have facilitated the seamless integration of cloud technology to optimize processes, provided strategic advice on technology best practices, and conducted high-caliber training sessions on EdTech for thousands of staff members. My commitment lies in ensuring that technology is not just an add-on, but a powerful tool embedded in the daily operations of schools, transforming the way we educate.

About EdTech Toolkit

 In an every changing world of where technology is coming to the fore front of our everyday life, I have started to put together some simple, in-depth toolkits to support education staff remove the technical jargon from learning technology and give them the skills they need right at their finger tips. 

Whilst the first Teacher Toolkit is currently in the works to empower teachers make efficient use of ChatGPT, I have started creating some back to basic quick guides designed to give you the direct information you require to boost your knowledge around a specific area. In partnership with my other training brand CPD Champions, these quick guides and full toolkits will aim to boost knowledge, develop new skills and empower teaching and learning in many schools.
