New here? Welcome!
I’m Oliver Quinlan, educator, writer, and currently working as Head of Impact & Research at education charity the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
I blog on learning, digital and education, and this blog represents my evolving thinking as I’ve been a school teacher, a university lecturer and now a researcher and educator.
The blog is organised into categories, as set out below for you to explore… or you might want to take a look at the most popular posts by page views.
I’ve also kept a ‘live blog’ over the years with write ups of events I’ve been to.
