Profile Information
- Please tell the group about your work in education
- I am a Chartered Teacher at Hillside School in Aberdour, Fife. I graduated from Jordanhill (University of Strathclyde) in 1997 with a PGCE (Business Studies and Economics). After teaching in Chatham and Maidstone (both in Kent, England), I moved back to Scotland. I completed a PGCE in Inclusive and Special Education at Moray House (University of Edinburgh), before embarking on the Chartered Teacher programme. I am now on the Doctoral programme at Moray House.
I have a particular interest in: ICT in education; 'Health Promoting Schools'; Professional Development; and teachers' trades' unions.
- Briefly, in what ways do you presently use the internet in an education context?
- My pupils have experience of: blogging, creating and listening to podcasts, using Twitter, participating in the Voices of the World project and video conferences, and caring for our RealCare Baby.
I facilitate and participate in a number of online communities, including EdTechroundup and The Access Network. I use Twitter as my 'personal learning network'.
- What do you wish to get out of participating in edonis over the next 3 years?
- As well as carrying out my doctoral research, I am looking forward to learning from colleagues around the world; particularly about strategies for working around some of the barriers to using the 'social web'.
- Finally, if applicable, please give the address of your own website. The link will be listed on the main edonis page
