As part of my role as education & design consultation at Create Ed, I’ve had the opportunity to travel throughout Australia
In late 2018, I was invited to the Edmund Rice Flexible Learning Centre in Townsville where, I facilitated a full day workshop with a large team of secondary educators who work with disengaged youth. I facilitated a full day session where educators could experiment with different technologies including littleBits, Makey Makey and Green Screen in group rotations, a short design challenge which produced some very creative solutions and finished with a focus-group meeting with key staff-members.
Some highlights from my visit to the Edmund Rice Flexible Learning Centre
Thank you to the team at Edmund Rice in Townsville for their hospitality during my visit to Townsville and I look forward to visiting again in the near future!

As part of my dedication to my own Professional Development, I recently attended EduTech Sydney. Highlights included hearing Keynotes from Sir Ken Robinson - of whom I am a huge fan of from his infamous TED talk Do Schools Kill Creativity? As well as current Australian of the Year Dr Richard Harris, attending workshops run by Lego Education, Adobe and experiencing the Vivid light festival for the first time.
