Currently teaching Grade 4 - 5 and I am also the Assistant Principal at our school. I will be leaving at the end of the term, however, to study full-time for my Master of Education with a focus on eLearning so I'm very excited about that!

I am very interested in eLearning and its development and potential as a motivational tool and the way it will change what we do as educators - for the better!
