Who am I?
I have been teaching for 22 years of which 16 years have been in international schools. My experiences have predominantly been in IB world schools. I have held a variety positions of responsibility over the years but am currently working at an international school in Korea as the head of department for physical & health education.
I am of Mauritian descent but grew up in England. I attended universities in Bangor, Wales and Roehampton, London and have a B.Ed in physical and adventure education and an M.A. in Sport and Culture.
I am a keen martial artist having studied Judo, karate and taekwondo. I am currently working towards my black belt, in taekwondo. I enjoy playing, coaching and watching soccer and am a life long Tottenham Hotspur fan. I love skiing and also enjoy indoor and outdoor rock climbing.
Playing around with websites and online learning platforms have always intruiged me. I have been involved in this side of things whilst teaching and will always want to whilst I work in schools. I work with a variety of applications both on mac and pc. At home we have always had macs but in schools I have always used pcs. I have worked with Ning, wikispaces, finalsite, Frog and shutterfly creating or maintaining sports related websites.
I have re-discovered Twitter and am using Facebook groups to collaborate with people internationally (Read my blog 'Curriculum Matters'). This is a new lease of life and I am loving connecting with people and discovering new ways of learning. I am a life long learner and believe there is something we can learn every day.
