Handheld Learning 2009

As a primary teacher he worked across the key stages, first as Music Coordinator and then as Coordinator for ICT.
Starting with an ambition to make ICT an integral part of children’s learning and half a dozen computers, his love of technology and belief in how it could shape the curriculum helped in developing a new scheme of work and the schools’ capacity to successfully deliver the core ICT curriculum and enhance other subject areas through the use of technology.

Since 2002, Stuart has worked for Greenwich Children’s Services, as a primary advisor for ICT and is currently the CLC Scheme Manager, overseeing the three buildings in Greenwich.

New and emerging technologies continue to fascinate Stuart, and he is constantly looking for ways in which technology can he harnessed in core subjects and across the curriculum to raise standards. Recently this has included partnerships with LEGO Education, the Apple RTC Programme and Nintendo UK.

He has implemented a number of Handheld Learning initiatives within Greenwich schools, including pilot projects using Nintendo DS, and the use of Sony PSPs as an Assessment for Learning tool in primary dance, art and literacy.
