Digital Divide Ep 5: Peter Nock

Peter's family was lucky enough to get one of the first home computers back in the 1980’s which meant he had the opportunity to grow and develop alongside these digital tools as they increasingly became integrated into our lives. He has worked at Ara for just over 20 years in the digital/ICT education field mostly with entry level foundation learners. Peter is naturally curious and enjoys researching and learning using digital tools and playing with them to see what he can do.
