Teaching Computing in Ireland

[Tim Slight]

Hey all

Great group!! I am England, recently moved to Ireland (marrying a Kilkenny lady!) and have been teaching Computing in England for 10+ years (previous to the teaching career I was an IT consultant for Pfizer). 

I have huge experience in standard traditional Office Apps, but have taught programming to pupils via Scratch, Greenfoot, Kudi and some Python via Raspberry Pi technology, taught Animation through Adobe Flash and Serif DrawPlus, Photography and digital design ( Fireworks, Photoshop), Web authoring with Dreamweaver and PagePlus and Movie making/editing with Movieplus, IMovie and Aftereffects. 

I be honest I am looking for work, my early research into this and dialogue with professionals suggests Computing's door is a jar in the curriculum, but moving slowly with schools apprehensive to make big changes.  

Therefore if you know of any schools or visionary principles willing to make the change please could you let me know (I can't help but feel Irish children are missing out on an amazing subjet).

IN ADDITION i have a huge bank of resources on the above (mostly self created) I would be delighted to of course share then with you so if you are in need of some materials please let me know I will send them on

Keep up the good work !! 

Tim
