Yesterday I spent a day at Ashfield Park Primary School in Ross on Wye working with 4 pupils of different ages. Together we filmed 4 methods of multiplication that are used as a standard across the school. The purpose of the films were to enable parents at home to see directly how their children were taught in school. When it comes to homework time we should aim to achieve the same approach that the children acheive at school. If the feedback of the multiplication project is good we will look to extend to covering division, addition and subtraction and even some literacy topics.

I am delighted the school has embraced technology to improve communication with parents and the wider communty and it certainly seems to be having a good effect.

You can see the results of the work at

I am currently adding more info onto the site about the kind of stuff I can deliver. With a passion for technology used creatively with kids, I am pleased to have a new training course page up and live at http://www.mademelook.co.uk/training-courses-for-schools.html

All of the tools listed are ones I have worked with over the last 7 years and are engaging, exciting and educational.

I can offer classroom based, INSET, and one to one training, And of course all of this for individuals too who might want to get their creative juices flowing.

I recently got my hands on a nice shiny new laptop which meant I had transfer my emails from my Outlook client to my new Windows 7 Windows Live client - what a nightmare for such a supposedly simple task!
