As a teacher of 12 years, a Digital Learning Lead and a new mum, I am thrilled to be part of the UAE education network so that I can continue to learn and develop in a country that celebrates innovation and forward thinking in education. Over the years I have experienced firsthand the massively rewarding journey of developing student lives and leading EdTech to make learning experiences better for school communities. Because of this, finding that developing that right community to for learners to thrive in is a topic I am very passionate about. Teaching is a social interaction, and the development of a digitally minded educator and student absolutely needs to include the emotional and social impact of technology. Our school community at BWA is everything, and I look forward to sharing what we have learnt this year.
