Game Based Learning 2010

As a Primary School Teacher I want to be accountable for the learning experiences I provide for my pupils, not just the results they achieve through a prescriptive method of testing.

I have been developing a more creative approach to teaching the curriculum. With this came the need to develop a more creative approach to assessment. I soon realised that bland statements adapted from the curriculum only told a fraction of the story. When statements of attainment were simply backed up with real evidence of learning the picture was transformed.

Combined with the technical expertise of a close friend with immense technical expertise, my vision provided the foundation for Simply Efficient and our first product PIMS.

When not teaching I can be found out on the water teaching children to sail. Using PIMS, evidence from such sessions can easily supplement school based learning.
