>Ross Wallis AppleDistinguished Educator
Ross Wallis is Head of Art at a small independent secondary school. He has been involved in exploring the potential of digital creativity somewhere near two decades, developing a digital curriculum within his art department and running training sessions for a variety of organisations. The following is testament from one of the latter : `"The sessions Ross delivered were excellent, he is a great teacher and his enthusiasm for the project has motivated both teachers and students. What came across from the sessions was that it is possible for all students to create great images using simple digital tools. The training sessions stimulated students to think about their own creativity, to focus on the kind of art they want to create and on the ease with which digital imaging tools can help express those creative ideas."
