Welcome
Established in 2012, Colour My Learning is a website dedicated to producing and sharing high quality, well-researched, considerate and mindful articles on all aspects of teaching and learning.
Our Content Cater To…
Our primary audiences are educators, parents and students including life long learners. Those looking to enhance their teaching and learning and to benefit from what we have to offer.
Learning Resources
Our accumulated knowledge and experience result in a continuous growth in learning resources for the benefits of the community and global citizens at large. And, we invite you to take advantage of this.
Education Technologies
Not forgetting our roots, the very reason we started Colour My Learning, is to keep a finger on EdTech and its development – from personal to classroom techs, apps and software to the cloud, we cover it all.
We started out initially as a Tech in Education blog focusing on the use and application of technology in education. Over time we have branched out to encompass different areas of teaching and learning, while still keeping a firm finger on the pulse of technology in education.
