About

I’m a Google Certified Teacher and Deputy Head Teacher at Heathfield Primary School in Bolton. I love my job and really enjoy anything ICT, I also love exploring how ICT can help children engage in their learning. I am very much at the beginning of my blogging journey but plan to introduce blogging to my school outside of the VLE.

I have been heavily involved in ICT in schools both in Bolton and Bradford for over 10 years. You can catch me on Twitter @DeputyMitchell and follow my blog here. Blogging has always been something I have avoided doing but after a visit to Chorlton Park Primary School I am now a converted Blogger!

I trained in my home town of Bradford and began my teacher career there. I taught in Ravenscliffe First School (Bradford) for 1 year, this school closed due to the reorganisation from a three tier to a two tier system. I went on to teach at Woodside Primary School (Bradford) for 2 years, Clayton Village Primary School (Bradford) for 2 years, Howrich Parish CE School (Bolton) for 5 years and got a promotion to Deputy Headteacher at Heathfield CPS (Bolton).

I spend most of my day at school and most of my night on the internet learning about new technologies.
