Lorinda Ferry
With over 18 years of experience in education, I know all the right ways to get your school where you want it to be. Let's unlock your success together!
As a Digital Literacy Coach for Wesley College, Melbourne, I've had many years of experience in developing teacher capacity with technology.
Every day is different, with teacher training and coaching required with Google Workspace, Microsoft, Schoolbox, SEQTA, iPads, Hapara, Seesaw, Chromebooks, Surface devices and Digital Learning.
I have extensive teaching and leadership experience across F-12 in Australia and New Zealand and have also taught teachers at Bachelors level at Avondale University.
These experiences place me at the unique intersection of technology and education transformation.
