I am an Advanced Skills Teacher and Subject Leader of Computing and Microsoft Expert Educator based at Northfleet School for Girls in Kent. I have been teaching for 9 years now and particularly enjoy developing computer science resources. My main focus in school is developing our key stage 3 curriculum to meet the new computing requirements. As an AST I am also available for outreach work with other schools on request.
A particular passion of mine is the use of Kodu Game Lab as a tool for teaching basic programming skills to young people. For this I received the award for "Cutting Edge Use of Technology for Learning" at the Microsoft Partners in Learning Global Forum last year in Prague.
