EPP - Richard Shotton

A very interesting session. Richard Shotton used to be a second level teacher and had the pleasure of knowing the class menace James Cook. Richard now works as a “social entrepreneur” bring IT and education together. One of the things I enjoyed about Richards work philosophy was to do s brief or a job for the love of it, not for the profits. I think this is a very admirably quality in any entrepreneur.

Richard is one of 4 directors so of a company named “Imagine Education”. 3 of these members, including Richard previous were teachers, which gave them a serious boost in the understanding of implementation computer systems in schools for educational purposes.

I would really like to get intouch with Richard again. The work he and his company do, in the UK and in other parts of the world is similar to that of my dads company. Computers in education. I reckon we could learn a few things from Richards methodologies and ways of thinking.
