Welcome to my weblog. I am a Teacher of Technical Subjects in Dunoon Grammar School. My main areas of interest are golf, football,reading and walking. During the coming months I will be adding to this section, keeping you informed of current initiatives in ICT taking place within the school.
My first venture will be attendance at the forthcoming SETT Conference. I am curently setting up a “focus group” with the local primaries, I will be attending the Primary Head Teachers Meeting in November to discuss my thought and proposals for the way ahead with ICT in the Cowal area.
At present Dunoon Grammar is proving to be an interesting place to teach since we are having a new school built. As a result I will be doing my utmost to try and ensure we are at the forefront of the latest developments in ICT. The progress of the new school can be viewed at http://www.dunoongrammar.argyll-bute.sch.uk/
Over the next few weeks and months I will keep you posted on developments.
See you later

Hi Richard, good to read about what you are up to. I’m sure it must be exciting looking forward to a new school - I’ve been watching the beginnings of the new Hermitage Academy here not far away from my house! (but far enough?)
Interesting idea having a ‘focus group’, as it’s great to have the primaries and secondary school working closely together. Any thougths about what you might focus on?

The areas I will be looking at will be to offer in-service training to the staff in all the usual areas of ICT, plus looking at the possibility of introducing the IC3 program into P6& 7. I am hoping Malcolm Knox of Prodigy will assist me with my presentation.

Hi, Richard - you should ask Don what the main staffroom has to say about bloggers (it’s not altogether flattering, but we’ve learned just to smile…)
You’ll be the man in the gleaming white suit, then? ;-p
