I am pleased to share my conversation with Fraser Speirs in this episode. Fraser is the Head of Secondary at Cedars School of Excellence in Greenock, Scotland. Before that, he was the Head of Computing and IT responsible for the school’s Computer Science education and IT infrastructure.
I would like to thank Fraser for taking time out of his busy teaching, blogging, and podcasting schedule to share his expertise and knowledge.
