Neil Emery
My passion is education ! Having once been involved in a professional recording studio where Apple Mac technology was a stable part of the day to day operation. I was amazed when walking into schools time and time again to find Apple technologies unused and unloved usually because someone had made a decision no other member of staff was comfortable with. So now I work very closely with Apple and its partners making sure that those educational organisations looking to purchase Apple technologies are doing so for the correct reasons. Apple is a different from PC so the blind comment that is 'oh it will be fine its a computer' can lead to technology being underused and having little or no impact on pupils/students. So I get involved as early as possible to suggest training and continued professional development for teaching staff and IT departments making sure that new technology purchases are a success.
