Current Position
Physics teacher and Coordinator of VLEs, Knights Templar School, Baldock, Hertfordshire.
Initial Training
MSci in Natural Sciences (Physics) from University of Cambridge
PGCE from University of Oxford
Career
After dabbling in atmospheric research in the States and over here, and a short stint in London schools, I have been pretty much based in one place where I have in recent years expanded my profile from classroom physics teaching to oversee the use of the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment across the school.
Links with other agencies
I recently completed an MA Science Education at the Insititute of Education in London.
I also keep in touch with the Moodle community, attending their 'Moodlemoot' conferences.
Personal interests
Dinghy sailing, particularly when at least one person is dangling off a wire, photography
Aim/Mission
With all manner of excellent physics enrichment opportunites available in and around Hertfordshire, my priority at the moment is to assist schools that do not have much physics teaching expertise. I'm also interested in how the web based tools and VLEs can be used to help foster physics support networks.
