Amongst many other things I could write here perhaps the most relevant information is that I'm a high school teacher based in Melbourne, Australia. I've spent time teaching in England and Japan as well. Nominally an English teacher, I've covered a variety of roles over the years.

As the by-line says, this is a place where I can discuss the things I've learned while teaching. So far I've found that coming up with subject matter has been remarkably easy. The writting hasn't been so easy but I'm enjoying the challenge.

Dan Aivaliotis-Martinez

Dan Aivaliotis-Martinez, Australia, Primary, Technology

My name is Dan Aivaliotis-Martinez. I have been a primary educator for the last 10 years and have taught in various educational settings in Australia and Europe.

I am foremost a student of new technology and new approaches in education. I learn through experimentation and I believe we learn best when we evolve and grow through our own personal learning journey. I take risks and encourage my students to do the same. Our mistakes and failures provide us with powerful learning opportunities.

I believe that technology can not only enhance education but transform it in ways that we could never have imagined only a few years ago.

I am passionate about providing engaging and creative opportunities for all students, where the effective use of technology allows for transformative learning to occur.
