Please tell the group about your work in education
I'm an Education Support Officer with Highland Council and my main remit is to co-ordinate the Assistive Technology Support Service. The service carries out joint assessments with schools and health professionals to determine ways in which technology might support pupils with additional support needs to access the curriculum.
I also devise and run courses to help teachers make better use of ICT within their classrooms - and beyond!!!
Briefly, in what ways do you presently use the internet in an education context?
I use the Internet as my main research tool, I use social bookmarking, networking and increasingly online Web 2.0 tools that might have significant impact in teaching and learning. Recent favourites: Voicethreads, Drop.io, Google Earth, Flickr.......
What do you wish to get out of participating in edonis over the next 3 years?
I am interested in new developments and am always keen to see what others are involved in. I find entering discussion groups and reading others materials helps me reflect on my own knowledge and practice. Three years is a long time in this climate so it will be interesting to see what develops.
Finally, if applicable, please give the address of your own website. The link will be listed on the main edonis page
