About Me

I’m Laura Knight. (née Doggett)

In no particular order, I am…

• Director of eLearning at Berkhamsted School in Hertfordshire.
• Head of Modern Foreign Languages in a large and successful department. I’ve worked previously in comprehensive schools in Herts, Cambs and Suffolk.
• a technology enthusiast and Apple fan, currently leading a project deploying 60 iPads in my department at school. I’ll be applying to become an Apple Distinguished Educator later this year.
• a writer, blogger and social networker
• a dedicated Twitter user with a fantastic personal learning network
• a Fast Track Teaching alumnus
• a Francophile gourmande – see my new creative blog at http://lauramakes.tumblr.com/
• an outdoorsy photography dabbler intrigued by great design

Professionally I am interested in building capacity for outstanding teaching and learning through well-applied technology and staff training. I am passionate about developing learning experiences that are engaging, motivational and appropriate for today’s students.
