I am excited to share the great and varied conversation I had with David Brown. David is the Education Technology Integrator at St Mary’s Anglican Girls’ School located in Karrinyup in Perth Western Australia and is passionate about using technology to improve student learning. He has been at SMAGS since 2015 and his main role is to develop and assist staff in enhancing pedagogical teaching practices with the use of technology. He also teaches digital technology classes which is where he has been using Xcode and Swift since 2015.


I would like to thank David for taking time out of his busy school, teaching, running, and blogging (I especially love the podcasting posts) activities to speak to me on the podcast.
