Mark is a teacher, leader and learner based in South Australia with 25 years experience.

Mark is interested in the friction point where ‘best practice’ meets ‘next practice’ and how, as schools and systems , we fan the glowing embers of innovation that are created at this intersection. Marks previous body of work around the ‘Learning of values’ continues through his work about and through online environments.’

I used to work as an EFL teacher, but am now working as a Learning Technology Development Officer @ the University of Salford. I am a Webhead in Action active member. I have learned a lot with this wonderful Community and made great friends!

I used to involve students in ICT activities. Currently, I help academic staff in the efficient use of edu-technology. I believe technology can help educators to develop more efficient strategies to involve students in learning situations, provided they don't try to replace the humanware with the software! :-).
