As a teacher, I have been in various leadership and management roles for over 30 years. I have many years of experience as an educator, primarily in secondary education, but also in Adult Education, Primary Education and on-line education.
I have designed many different education courses, such as many Work Programs for Year 11 & 12 QCAA subjects including Mathematics, Physics, ITS, IPT; as well as courses for ICTE at Year 7-10; for Primary ICT from Year 1 – 6; for the IB’s ITGS course; for Adult Education courses; for online delivery; as well as a Year 11 & 12 entrepreneurial business course in Digital Technologies, which gained national recognition with a Federal ‘Best Practice in IT’ award.
My background in IT, has involved running my own IT consultancy company which along with sales and systems implementation and integration, included teaching IT; creating commercial IT products including Information Systems; and the authoring of IT books.
I have also been invited to speak to, and teach, curriculum leaders in inter-state schools, as far afield as Tasmania, and Singapore on IT subjects such as Computational Thinking and Coding, and have been a Keynote speaker at both Eductech Asia and Future Schools conferences.
