ON THE COVER
Tristan Heron
Tristan Heron is an Australian educator who believes that technology should serve teachers, not the other way around. With around 16 years of experience in schools, he is known as an Education and Innovation Growth Specialist. He is also known for something simpler and rarer: he is still a working classroom teacher. That fact shapes everything he builds, shares and recommends.
