Dionne Thomas
hi-impact consultancy ltd. is an expert provider of innovative technology and media services across the education sector.
The team is made up of experienced, qualified teachers and media staff, all driven by a passion for the use of technology and creative media to engage pupils and motivate them to learn. Alongside strategic planning of technology integration across the curriculum, the consultants then provide workshops for children and deliver professional development for staff. The staff strive to ‘think outside the box’, developing new ideas to inspire children and teachers – from themed Robots Weeks to ‘alien’ visits to schools and from ‘space investigation’ balloon launches to 3D printing.
The support team is made up of curriculum-trained technicians who assist teachers in the classroom whilst efficiently resolving all of the day-to-day technical issues. The team have designed an incredibly robust network that staff can trust and rely upon, allowing the technicians to get out of the server rooms and into the classrooms. This approach provides opportunities for schools to utilise their technician, such as making podcasts or films in small groups; running computing clubs and supporting staff with management of IT equipment preparation.
