Andy Phippen is Professor of Social Responsibility
in IT at The University of Plymouth he said in a recent interview "I have
been aware of Russell for a number of years and have had the privilege of
working with him on a number of occasions recently. Not only does he have a
great grasp of the power of broadcast technology as a means of communication, he
also has a knowledge and enthusiasm for technology which means he is both an
insightful interviewer and also an evangelist of the positive empowerment that
results from technology. At Plymouth University we have a growing realisation
that we have considerable expertise in the areas of digital awareness and online
safety and we look forward to a closer working relationship with Russell to
bring his skills into the mix to both ask difficult questions and also get the
message out”.

Gareth Ritter
Willows high School, Cardiff
After meeting Russell at BETT I knew instantly we were dealing with a professional outfit. From placing the order to having the training the quality of the service was outstanding. The technical support has been probably the best I have ever experienced. The Broadcaster radio station is changing the way we deliver our curriculum at our school. I would welcome anyone to get in touch with me via my web site if you need convincing further, I would be more than happy to showcase some of the amazing results we are having as a result of Russell’s work and the fantastic system. It really was money well spent.
Published by Continuum Books "Mathematics Education with Digital Technology" edited by Adrian Oldknow & Carol Knights, Russell has written Chapter 12 "Home & School - Bridging the Gap" The title draws on the expertise of a wide range of contributors from across the globe. It is thought provoking and challenging and covers a diverse range of ICT. It is hoped that this publication can move the agenda forward and bring ICT to all our students. ISBN 978-1-4411-8472-6 published by www.Continuumbooks.com 2011 Other contributors include Don Passey, Andy Kemp, Vanessa Pittard and David Wright, the book is highly recommended but it isn't for the faint hearted.
RM Education has just published a rather interesting case study on
