Who is Bruce?
Bruce has been a learner since he was born and an educator since the early 90's. He has taught all ages from kindergarten to post-graduate across three continents and seven different countries and has served as an educational leader from K-12 in four international schools.
With the bulk of his experience in elementary and secondary classrooms, his integration into technology began in 1996 when teaching his first multimedia class to a group of Australian 8th, 9th and 10th graders. His integration into technology coincided with a sudden realisation that he was learning more than he was teaching!
While his 30 year personal and professional journey has been ever changing since then, he is presently very concerned that the journey of the average secondary school student has remained basically the same, with much debate and confusion on what learning really looks, sounds and feels like.
As society has been pushed into the 21st century with the explosion of immersive media, mobile devices and distributed creativity, the classroom has stubbornly resisted such forward movement and springboards for learning. Education is resting comfortably on the shoulders of past giants and is becoming stunningly irrelevant in the process.
As the Head of Secondary and High School Principal of the American International School in Egypt, Bruce has the opportunity to work and learn with fantastic teachers and students to ensure new giants are growing and that the hours spent in the classroom are stunningly relevant.
