Welcome to my blog page!

This is the first time I have tried to write down what I hope to achieve with all these hours spent reading other people’s pages, exploring applications and reviewing resources. 

I lost track of new technology somewhere around the release of Windows 95 – around the same time I left university and hit the banking world with more of a pfft than a bang!  I continued to develop skills within some standard packages and learnt some nifty keyboard shortcuts through boredom induced experimentation but my growing knowledge of the Internet and it’s applications came to an alarming standstill after I mastered checking my bank account and online shopping at Tesco.

On my return to university to complete my teacher training in 2006 I was introduced to the world of the VLE, convinced that mathetical packages had come a long way since Matlab and reassured that everything I needed was compatible with Windows.

So I’ve spent the last 3 years using resources that I’ve found online, evaluating them as I go and either recommending them to colleagues or sending them to my recycle bin forever.  Would you agree that it’s about time I took what I have learned and tried to create some tools of my own?

I don’t want to reinvent the wheel – I reckon plenty of people have managed that already online but I do want a site that helps to deliver maths to my students that fits their curriculum and enhances their learning.  This is not going to be a substitute for classroom learning and teaching but it will hopefully take us forward together with technology.

Wish me luck!
