My guides to using Smart Notebook can be found here. Official Smart helpsheets can be found on the Smart Website. A version of the “Getting the Most [...]
It’s been a crazy 10 days or so since the Teacher2Teacher conference in Canada and I’ve only now had a chance to sit down and put down some thoughts about the event. I landed in Calgary on the Tuesday evening after a 9 hour flight from London. I spent the evening with an old friend [...]

Epson were demonstrating their 450i Model (click for specs) which looked pretty interesting. I had a play with it on the stand and it seemed [...]
My second day at BETT was more of the same really. I probably spent a little too long socialising than hitting stands, but this is the one time of the year where all the companies I train for are all in one place – so it’s great to get to catch up with everyone. Day [...]
