I first met Stephen in Hong Kong while on a mission for some great local food! I had conversed with Stephen on numerous times about research in the classroom and really enjoyed the conversations we had at the conference in Hong Kong.

Always great sitting down with Dan and discussing his opinions on education. The first time I met Dan was in Dubai at the ConnectedPE conference and since then we have connected on numerous occasions. His teaching certificate has certainly taken him to various places in the world from the middle east to Bangladesh.

Andy and I speak on a weekly, even sometimes daily occurrence through social media or WhatsApp. As one of the blabbermouths, it is always great to listen to his insights on education, travel and family. I was fortunate enough to eventually catch up with him in Washington D.C. while he was doing some work for Shape. Andy is Shape's National Health Teacher of the Year for 2017 and you can see his passion for teaching health when you speak to him and listen to his stories. You can check out both of the projects Andy speaks about here SLOWCHATHEALTH & SENDATEACHER

The number of times Andy and I have connected over the past few years has been memorable. Listening to his stories and views have been priceless in my own development as a teacher. It is a great shame that just as I left the Middle East, Andy and his family moved there, otherwise, we would have been neighbours! If you have not already done so, be sure to check out Andy's blog (CLICK HERE).

Simon and I first connected through social media, then met at a PE Geek workshop and since then I have had the pleasure of visiting his him to attend teach-meets and help him and his collogues implement Google tools throughout the school. They were amazed at the ease of use and could see the benefits of implementing a GSuite culture to aid teaching and learning. Love that he has taken on my mantra of 'working smarter and not harder' by implementing GSuite tools. If you are interested in learning more about GSuite tools, be sure to check out the ChargedUP Academy (Click Here To Find Out More).
