About Us
Tim
McShane
Tim is the founder of ICTeachers
which grew out of the laptops for teachers project in 1998.
He edits the newsletter and keeps the servers in order. In
2004 he moved from being a deputy head of a primary school
to be an e-learning specialist for the National College for
Leadership of Schools and Children’s Services helping to
design programmes of study for school leaders.
In his spare time he has a
number of interests which include ICTeachers Ltd,
Fluffy
Clouds Ltd and working with
WiredTrust. He has also been European Regional Director
of WiredSafety
www.wiredsafety.org and has represented them on the Home
Office's Internet Task Force sub-groups on Child Protection,
Criminal Law and Law Enforcement.
Tim completed an MSc in Advanced
Learning Technology in 2008 and in 2010 he began his PhD in
E-research and Technology Enhanced Learning with Lancaster
University.
Tim believes that all teachers
are exceptional people with incredible talents and are
woefully underappreciated
Bob
Hopcraft
Bob "The Builder" Hopcraft
leads our web design team. Bob worked as a primary
headteacher for 20 years and has
a masters degree in education. He now works as an Education
Consultant, specialising in support for leadership teams. He
is a School Improvement Partner (SIP) for two local
authorities and is a Church of England Section 48 inspector.
He
has incredible experience at making sense to teachers of the
intricacies of creating a good website. Always patient and
ever willing to listen, Bob has been the driving force over
our increasingly successful web design and hosting business.
He has skills in both the design
and technical aspects of web building and has a range of
instant fixes for your website needs. He's happy to deal
with you by e-mail or on the telephone - or even face to
face if you live close enough to Hertfordshire! Why not
contact him and get your school on the web?
Brian Kite
Brian is skilled in all things
financial and as such takes care of our accounts.
Known as Brian "The Giant
Killer" Kite (ask him why!), he is essential to the company
as he issues invoices and counts in the money. Woe betide
any school or company who does not pay their bill in time
without proper reason or a note from a parent.
Always reasonable, and a
successful head teacher in his own right, Brian is part of
the solid foundations of the company.
Mike
Freedman
Mike "Vaultman" Freedman is
the secret behind all those wonderful resources and links to
sites that are regularly updated. He spends his days and
evenings sifting through the dross to pull out the pearls
with which to grace the site.
Always ready to help a visitor
who wants something in particular, Mike is an indispensable
part of our team and is also a consultant to BECTa on their
New2Computers project.
Fiona
McShane
Fiona is the latest addition
to our ICTeachers' family. As our chief sales consultant she
works the phone and answers the emails. A reformed
technophobe, she knows what it is to be confused by the
technology and empathises with all those in this state.
With her background as a
qualified nurse, she is the calm, soothing voice of reason
and would be delighted to take you through the process of
getting a website with ICTeachers.
Give her a ring and say hello.
