Biographical
Note
The first
five years of my career in education were spent as a primary teacher,
working in Fife, Scotland. After teaching for two years in an elementary
school in North Carolina, USA, I returned to Scotland to continue teaching
and study for an MSc in Education. I have been a lecturer at Moray House
since 2004, teaching primarily on BEd
Primary, PGDE Primary and MTeach (Chartered
Teacher) programmes. My teaching focuses mainly on the use of technology
(ICT) in education and teachers' professional development.
