UK to NZ Networking Opportunity

[pshaw101]

Hello to our Edugeek friends in New Zealand. I am a Strategic ICT Manager at a secondary school in Birmingham, UK.

Are there any ICT staff in New Zealand secondary schools (ages 11-16) that may be interested in some international networking? I shall be visiting Christchurch and Wellington, New Zealand with my family in February 2014, and I am hoping to hook up with like-minded ICT staff/managers in a couple of New Zealand schools to exchange learning about our respective education systems.

If you think you might be able to spare a couple of hours in February 2014(!) to invite me to your school, please post a reply, and I'll contact you directly. Don't worry - An expression of interest does not commit you, and I'm not fishing for a job in New Zealand; I am genuinely interested in creating networking opportunities to learn from each other.

I'd welcome a visit but deal with primaries and am in Auckland so out of scope on two accounts.

Hi Synack - thanks for your reply. The primary sector is still of interest, but Auckland is a bit out of the way. If I find Auckland on my itenary, I'll get in contact. Thanks again.
