Al champions and creates opportunities for teachers, school leaders and EdTech suppliers to work-together constructively to share knowledge and best-practice.”
“Al is a pioneer in transforming school learning but has also been a consistent support for many of us working in the sector – he quietly champions the small fish whilst having a huge global impact. The nicest man in EdTech.”
“Al has been one of the most helpful, influential and supportive individuals in the global EdTech scene for several years now. He has not only championed those who have led the way on the embracing of EdTech in schools but has been a vocal champion for helping to find the digital superstars of the future!”
