Currently going where no code has not gone before. Former A-Level Physics teacher. As a teacher: Deep subject knowledge, passion for stretching students beyond their current capabilities, lots of experience developing resources and building eLearning platforms to take learning beyond the classroom.Learning JavaScript, Python, Command Line (UNIX), SQL, and Git. Experienced Google Apps Script writer. My first add-on is available in the Chrome web store - “Line Counter for UCAS” Docs add-on. Advanced spreadsheet designer. I design and build spreadsheets for almost everything:> Fast, simple spreadsheets for automated data logging and rudimentary analysis.> Complex and powerful spreadsheets for improved user experience alongside useful outputs.> Good looking dashboards for easy to access information at a glance.Nothing makes me happier than making workflows more efficient and more robust.Making complex and powerful spreadsheets is one thing; but making them appealing and user friendly is another. My website www.rapidreportshq.com showcases some of the spreadsheets I've designed.A big ongoing project of mine is A-Level Physics HQ (https://physicshq.wixsite.com/alevelphysicshq) a collection of free resources for students across the world to learn physics at A-Level standard. Comprises mainly videos available on this YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/physicshqAdapting proven technology into education is often more valuable than most of the edu-technology available (usually expensive and artificially imposed onto learning). I am interested in introducing technology that has not been designed for education but has a practicality that edu-tech cannot match. Examples: Slack for communication with students, Evernote as a place to take notes and revisit for revision, iBooks and Twitter.Making high quality resources for students - notably a few multitouch iBooks for students on sale in the iBook store.Occasionally I publish blogs to nadnosliw.wordpress.com
