Introduction

"All I really do is Google any royalty free or open source resources and package up what I find into a Google Slide..."

The above quote reflects on my approach to developing ideas for lessons I want to teach in my classes. As a PŪRAU/STEM and Digital Technologies teacher, this allows me the freedom to develop my lessons in an organic and iterative way. I have adapted my pedagogy to cater for the changes to curriculum, while experimenting with new approaches in how to teach STEM that uses established methods of involving coding, electronics, and robotics.

It can be challenging to succinctly define what I do within my lessons. I am using this reflective profile to provide an insight into how I have built and implemented a PŪRAU/STEM and Digital Technologies programme, while also celebrating the accomplishments and progress I have made over the last few years.
