Join us for an episode of Primary Education Voices where we learn more from another inspirational Primary colleague. Today we have a chin wag with Lee Parkinson,@ICT_MrP, perhaps best-known as ICT Mr P who shares great ideas around using technology to work smarter and develop wellbeing in our work as primary educators as well as many other great ideas and views.

- Alan Peat’s website
- Exciting Sentences – book
- Exciting Sentences – app

- The Ultimate Guide to Non-Fiction Writing
