About Me

I began my career as a Foundation Stage/KS1 teacher and ICT Co-ordinator, later achieving Advanced Skills Teacher (AST) status with ICT as a specialism. Since then, I have worked as a Key Stage 1 and 2 ICT Advisor for two LEAs.

I am now an Independent ICT Consultant, providing a range of ICT support for primary schools and specialising in Early Years ICT.

As an ICT Consultant, I have:

• worked with Headteachers, Governors, ICT Co-ordinators and SMTs to support the planning, organisation and implementation of ICT throughout the school and across the curriculum to achieve a vision for ICT;
• worked with Teachers and LSAs through 'Hands-on Support' to further develop their ICT confidence and capability to embed a range of inspiring activities and resources in the classroom;
• provided a range of ICT courses, ICT Co-ordinator meetings and conference seminars;
• created topic themed boxes of ICT role-play equipment for schools and as a loan project for LEAs;
• advised software companies on the development of Early Years programs;
• written a range of Early Years ICT resources and activities to support the creative curriculum.
