WRITING
Published ArticlesTopics
One of the defining characteristics of the education space is a willingness to share. I try and model that mindset and enjoy writing about topics close to my heart of where i have heard of any combined successes and failures. I am very fortunate to be able to share these on a broad church of publications and platforms and these articles cover topics as diverse as Digital Strategy, EdTech insights, Safeguarding, Governance, Data Protection, AR, Digital Disruption and broader School Strategies for growth.

With the disruption to education caused by COVID-19 and an uncertain educational future ahead, it’s more crucial than ever that all school stakeholders can come together effectively to create a digital strategy that incorporates how edtech can be used effectively in-school and remotely.
Recent events have prompted the authors of the immensely popular ‘Guide to Creating a Digital Strategy in Education’ – Mark Anderson (ICT Evangelist) and Al Kingsley (Chair of a multi-academy Trust and MD of NetSupport) – to update the guide to take account of the new landscape schools now have to navigate.
