Digital Learning & Teaching

I am a massive fan of using technology in the classroom to support the learning and teaching of all pupils. I am lucky enough to be part of Team MIEE Scotland as a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert which is a community of likeminded educators with an interest in digital technology. 

Technology can be valuable to all, but to some it is vital!
