In a nutshell…

After working with tamariki and being immersed in the education sector over the last 20 years… Emma’s experience in teaching, leadership, facilitation and her own parenting journey navigating technology, led her to grow her business and develop a range of resources to support the early years, primary, as well as parents and whānau. 

From floppy disks, dial-up internet, Encarta 95 and all the ‘word art’ styles one could dream of…. to the ever-evolving digital landscape we live in today…

Seeing this evolution of change and the important need to protect our tamariki… this call to action fuels what we do and the passion that drives us to provide high-quality, meaningful and supportive professional learning, as we continue to develop our offerings and resources.
