The Driving Force

This video is a very powerful video relating to one of the many worries of today when it comes to educating children.



I suppose this video serves as part of the Driving Force to my "campaign".

School is compulsory, that's no surprise, however, do you want your children getting lazy and lethargic because all they do in lessons is sleep? Retain the interest of the children and you can retain the educational benefit for the children. Multimedia can help break a lesson up, allow the child to interact and become part of the lesson and perhaps most importantly, allows the child to enjoy their lessons.

Who Am I? What Do I Stand For?

My name is Daniel Hanly.

I work for a company called C.E.L.T. (centre for excellence in learning and teaching) based in the University of Glamorgan, in South Wales. It is my job, no, my resposibility to ensure that every child in Rhondda Cynon Taff gets a fun and innovative education, as far from Blackboards and Exercise Books as possible.

I aim to bring Multimedia into all classrooms, to allow students to unlock their full potential (to make them WANT to unlock their full potential) and hopefully bring out the best in them.

It is my hope that this Blog will stimulate teachers and learners all over the country to incorporate Multimedia into their lessons and to bring their lessons alive (even the most boring topics).
