Welcome to the Digitize Fully Charged Podcast – where we energise educators, spark new ideas, and level up your digital skills in education.
In this episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Tavs Laurie. Tavs is a Head Teacher in the Scottish Highlands to an off-grid school of 8 pupils, and is unreachable by vehicle!
