To help get the most out of my Staff Travel Scholarship and the Study Tour to ISTE in San Antonio, I presented a series of questions to the Junior School Managment Team (see below). After feedback was received, I edited the questions and each page on this blog represents one question that I want to investigate. My aim is to explore each question throughout the study tour and for this blog to reflect this exploration. I invite you to follow the development of theis blog throughout June and July. Use the page links on the right to navigate through each page.
