I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Karen from Compnow. She is extremely professional, responsive and helpful. I don’t think we would have received such positive feedback about the M:EE project without her hard work, input & relatability.

Being new to my role and still navigating change management within my school setting, Karen & Compnow's process was easy & supported. Karen's knowledge was amazing, meaning we were able to deliver a high quality, supported and relevant program. I am so thankful to have partaken in these sessions and look forward to more opportunities to learn from you in the future.

We were enormously impressed with Karen from Compnow in facilitating our Digital Technologies Professional Learning Project. The teachers gained confidence & developed smart, learning-centred workflows, with the focus always on student learning and not the device. Comments such as, ‘that was some of the best PD I’ve ever done’, are testament to the success of the project Karen devised in conjunction with us.

Demonstrating the power of the technology available at our school, Karen from Compnow quickly motivated staff to explore and experiment with their teaching & learning. She has continued to build relationships to support us on our journey. I'm excited to see what the future will hold for us as we increase our skills and embed practices that enable our students to demonstrate their learning in a multi-modal manner.

Jo Simpson Principal
Mount Barker Primary School

The Professional Learning program that Karen and Compnow designed & implemented was tailored for our school, the students and our class teachers. As a result, it was appropriate and extremely effective. Karen was just the stimulus our school needed to get the iPad program up and running. All of our staff thoroughly enjoyed working with Karen and we look forward to doing so again in the future.
