Giles and the Aspire Academy Trust have been offering ICT-based CPD to primary education staff for a number of years, most recently under the Digital Learning Cornwall badge. Giles combines an interesting mix of skills: tech journalism; multimedia and interface design; experienced and practising classroom teacher. He understands that schools need to be empowered to make well-informed, independent, practical choices; to implement technologies that genuinely enhance teaching and learning processes for children and staff who are not tech-specialists. Giles spearheaded Mount Hawke Academy’s successful application to be part of the first twenty DfE EdTech Demonstrator Schools.
