“When Digital Transformation is done correctly, it’s like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, but when done wrong, all you have is a really fast caterpillar.”
George Westerman
Hi welcome to my blogging and podcasting site.
My name is Saqib Safdar. I am currently working as the Digital Learning Lead at the Harris Federation. I have a proven track record for creating meaningful change using digital technology in previous roles as Digital Innovation and Learning Lead at Star Academies (awarded MAT of the year) and Head of eLearning at DLD College, Alpha Plus Group (Boarding School of the Year 2020’ and ‘Independent School of the Year 2020’ (Special Judges’ Award). I am currently reading Digital Education MSc at the University of Edinburgh. I am a Microsoft Certified Educator, Minecraft Global Mentor, Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert and Master Trainer. I have been teaching Mathematics for over 15 years and enjoy using technology to encourage self-paced learning, collaboration, problem-solving and independent thinking skills. I am currently developing the use of Minecraft for coding and Python programming across KS-3. When not working – I enjoy cycling, trekking and camping.
This space aims to critically evaluate current academic discussions in digital education and how they apply to practical scenarios faced in the education sector.
Sometimes I am fortunate to be joined by Julian (my co-podcast-host)...
Julian coaches digital transformation for academic, professional and leadership staff across London’s HE, FE and Adult Learning sectors. His career started with studying Soft Systems Methodology in the 1980s, in NHS systems, then with the University of London Computer Centre in the 1990s. Funded to set up with other experts in 2002, the Jisc Regional Support Centre for London has been central to sharing grassroots understanding and practice between IT and academic perspectives, helping to find common motivation and understanding. Retraining since 2015 as a professional coach, he runs the Digital Innovation Roundtable communities of practice.
