Heather completed her doctorate in 2018 with a focus on exploring the attitudes and values of Early Childhood teachers regarding the use of technology with and by young children (from 2 to 7 years of age). She maintains an interest in all aspects of technology use with young children, particularly in exploring ways of using technology creatively in Early Childhood, whilst considering many of the potential challenges that technology use can bring to this age group.

Heather is also interested in exploring creative approaches to teaching, learning and assessment in Higher Education.
