I am always looking to learn more about the practical application of technology in the classroom to aid teaching and learning and on a school-wide basis. I manage ICT across the curriculum for an independent school in London as well as being Head of the ICT & Computing Department. I currently teach 11 – 18 year olds.

    hi there! i’m wanting to reference a piece of your work for my masters assignment. would this be okay? and i wondered if you could give me your full name!

  • daibarnes

    I would be honoured. Dai Barnes is my full name. Do you mind me asking what you are referencing?

      I read your work on distributed leadership and have used this line… “A distributed leadership perspective shifts the focus off the individual leader and on to ‘leaderful’ organisations” in my assignment. I really liked this idea. I hadn’t heard leaderful before but looked up a definition… Leaderful organisations lead all together (collectively) and at the same time (concurrently). I am working on my Masters in Educational Leadership and my first assignment is around Distributed Leadership. Thank you SO much. I really appreciate it!

    i find the blue bird to be a meaningless distraction from your otherwise engaging point of view.

    • daibarnes

      Indeed. I put it on a week or so ago after seeing it somewhere else and thinking “yeah, that’s neat” – but I totally agree with you. It just annoys. And now it’s gone. Thanks for saying so.

    Many thanks,
