Music Teacher to Learning Technology Strategist

July 02, 2024 • Season 4 • Episode 7

Fran's fascinating career change has seen her move from Primary Music Teacher in a rural Primary school (along a squiggly career path) to where she is now as a Learning Technology Strategist. She offers some great insights into the world of learning design and we can utilise our teacher transferable skills.

We explore where we can find roles in learning technology and learning design and chat about the need to put yourself out there - particularly the power of networking on LinkedIn!

In this episode, we also explore:
