About me
I was a Year 5-6 teacher, teaching and learning in Otara, Auckland, then I was the eLearning lead teacher at Amesbury school in Wellington. I moved to Pukerua Bay School as Assistant Principal and took up the Principal role in 2015.
eLearning, news shows and moviemaking are my favourites 
In 2010 (as a Core Education eFellow) I explored the use of cameras in the classroom looking specifically at:
- Self Reflection
- Foucauldian notions of self-monitoring
- Authentic audience
As a teacher I explored:
- Minimally Invasive Education in a NZ Primary School Context
- Creating News Shows in a Primary School Context
- Raising the quality of teaching and learning via collaborative online relationships using a variety of tools such as blogs, shared documents, google sites, skype, edmodo etc with classes within NZ and Australia.
As principal I try to foster community learning in authentic contexts.
