Hello there, and a very warm welcome to EdTechSchool!
I started this blog so that good practice with educational technology could be captured and shared with the teaching and educational technology community. So often, good practice is created and applied but it remains confined to experts, schools with entrenched good practice, or specialist CPD days. This is a blog designed to share good practice with technology in school and nothing else.
The blog also provides a forum to start a debate on many of the issues that surround e-learning in schools today. It will explore how schools can deal with new threats around e-safety and have policies in place that deal with the increasing demands of mobile devices. While, at the same time, ensuring that student learning remains central to everything we use educational technology for.
I’m Andrew Walls. I work for the Sidney Stringer Multi Academy Trust as the Assistant Principal for MAT ICT. I previously worked at Dixons Allerton Academy in Bradford as the school’s E-Learning Lead.
