About the trainer:
Joe Warren has been developing his passion for technology in education for over 15 years as a specialist IT teacher, school leader and educational advisor. As Deputy Head at a leading London Prep School his innovations and expertise in computing and his willingness to share with other schools placed him in high demand as the computing curriculum was introduced. He has helped teachers across the country gain confidence and an excitement for computing in their schools and bring the computing curriculum to life. After a spell as Head of IT for the largest group of independent schools in the country, he now acts as consultant for schools and charities developing their online presence, and teaches again, part time, just for joy of it.
