LearningDust aims to promote harmonious relationships between teachers, technicians and leadership teams in schools. Each episode examines a theme through the eyes of people who perform these roles in schools. Our motto - pedagogy and technology in harmony - refers to the aspiration that teachers and 'techies' can work with, rather than against each other.
