My name is Richard Finnigan and since 1996 I have been involved in teaching and co-ordinating ICT in middle and secondary schools (9-13) .   In my current post most of my timetable is taken up with IT teaching and I also run a few of my own projects outside of my work commitments.

I came to IT through the arts, designing leaflets and posters for an arts centre, and this arts background continues to inform my work as a teacher.    I can always come up with a fun lesson when I need to :) 

When it comes to using this technology I have a strong interest in developing databases for teaching and administrative purposes, multimedia authoring and DTP work....and despite my advancing years I love real time strategy games like Red Alert and Age of Empires.
