Nicola Flanagan Email & Phone Number

As an educational leader with over 20 years of experience in leading the effective leveraging of technology to support and extend learning, I am passionate about designing experiences that empower students to make an impact on the world. I am happiest when supporting educators to identify and design creative and connected opportunities related to curriculum, technology and authentic inquiry. You can read narratives of the school wide work I have led: https://osstechenablinglearning.edublogs.org . Many of these stories relate to the use of technology in learning, the strategic and innovative implementation of inquiry led learning and to the roll-out of the Digital Technologies Curriculum. This is a story which I have also documented within the Leadership Section of the federally funded Digital Technologies Hub as a model to support schools and leaders nation-wide. See: https://www.digitaltechnologieshub.edu.au/school-leaders/whole-school-plan/introductionAs an Apple Professional Learning Specialist, I have supported networks of teachers and leaders within Brisbane Catholic Education to implement the use of iPad in pedagogically sound ways using a hybrid approach to teacher learning and have facilitated leadership workshops for teams wising to implement strategy within an ecosystem of good learning. I have also worked with a leading provider of quality care and education services for early learners and provided support (both online and face-to-face) to a range of Primary and Secondary schools within Queensland.I am committed to sharing the journey with others and fully acknowledge the power and strength of my PLN (including my global Twitter PLN) in supporting me to do this.Apple Distinguished Educator - Class of 2015AdvanceQLD Digital Champion - 2016Design Minds SLQ - Regional Ambassador - 2016
