About the store
Hi, I'm Kate. By day, I'm the e-Learning Coordinator at an independent school in Brisbane. The role spans K-12, which means some weeks I'm exploring how technology can support PYP units of inquiry in primary classrooms, and other weeks I'm in front of a Digital Technologies classroom in the secondary school. By background, I'm a secondary English teacher, which is why most of my resources focus there but they'll be spreading outward into anything that benefits from an unexpected approach.

Teaching style
The brief on every resource I make is the same. Make it engaging enough that students forget they're at school. Rigorous enough that they're learning anyway. Sometimes that's a gamified unit. Sometimes it's an assessment that doesn't look like one. Sometimes it's just an angle nobody else would take on a familiar topic. The thread that connects it all together is the suspicion that the most memorable lessons are usually the ones that look least like a lesson on paper.
Additional biographical information
I hold a Bachelor of Secondary Education (English, and Fillm, Television, and New Media Studies), a Bachelor of Arts (English Literature and Media, Communications, and Cultural Studies), and most recently a Master of Education in Digital Learning, focused on technology integration, AI literacy, and gamified pedagogy. The research foundations from that work shape everything I make here. Nothing goes up that I wouldn't teach myself on a Friday afternoon.
