Andy Crowe
Local curriculum design Innovative learning design Digital fluency Digital technologies curriculum
I am an educator, life-long learner, technologist and learning space maker.
As an educator and as a co-founder of a social enterprise, the co-design process is integral to all of my work. Encouraging bold ideas, radical inclusion and empowering others to do their best work is what drives me.
I enjoy activating and delivering programmes that increase and encourage the capability of entrepreneurs. Likewise, developing opportunities for teachers and schools to grow their makerspaces, and to make the most of the tools they have.
Victoria Macann
Digital technologies curriculum, Science & STEAM, Digital fluency
Specialising in the Digital Technologies/Hangarau Matihiko Curriculum implementation, digital fluency and science, my focus is on making easy links between technology, the curriculum and what you are already doing in your programme.
I believe that students learn best when their learning is active, collaborative, creative, and relates to them personally in the real world, and that we need to prepare our students for a fast-moving digital world where they have the skills to not only use digital technologies, but to design and create digital systems.
