Current Projects
Connecting my current projects in AI and the creative learning strategies I’ve used over the five decades of teaching overlap in many surprising ways. At its core, it allows to explore how thoughts, language and actions are fundamental to telling stories, mediated by successive technologies.

MESSAGE TO NEW GRADUATES
Meet Up For Teaching Graduates
As a new graduate, I had the good fortune of have ‘ancient futurists’ like me on staff in my school who I could speak to and address my fears as I took on my appointment. I want to return the favour, so I’ve set up a meet up in which new graduates can ask questions, puzzle out solutions and generally feel that they are a vital means of renewing the teaching profession.
