Professor Andy Phippen

Andy Phippen is Professor of Social Responsibility in IT at The University of Plymouth he said in a recent interview "I have been aware of Russell for a number of years and have had the privilege of working with him on a number of occasions recently. Not only does he have a great grasp of the power of broadcast technology as a means of communication, he also has a knowledge and enthusiasm for technology which means he is both an insightful interviewer and also an evangelist of the positive empowerment that results from technology. At Plymouth University we have a growing realisation that we have considerable expertise in the areas of digital awareness and online safety and we look forward to a closer working relationship with Russell to bring his skills into the mix to both ask difficult questions and also get the message out”.

After meeting Russell at BETT I knew instantly we were dealing with a professional outfit. From placing the order to having the training the quality of the service was outstanding. The technical support has been probably the best I have ever experienced. The Broadcaster radio station is changing the way we deliver our curriculum at our school. I would welcome anyone to get in touch with me via my web site if you need convincing further, I would be more than happy to showcase some of the amazing results we are having as a result of Russell’s work and the fantastic system. It really was money well spent.

Russell's FREE PodcastsRussell is an independent ICT Evangelist and Broadcaster Using live demonstrations Russell looks at new and existing technologies and suggests new ways that colleagues can take advantage of these in their subject teaching in the C21st.  Russell also provides strategic ICT thinking to a number of key UK education players.  He is involved in several action based research projects and is passionate about educational ICT. 

RESEARCH
Nine years ago Russell embarked upon a research project to find and identify some new, quick and easy wins for creative and collaborative uses of ICT for learners and educators.  He looked at many technologies
and could already see a gap developing between speaking and listening and writing skills. Learners were also showing signs of increased levels of boredom and reluctant and disengaged learners were being recognised. In 2005 Russell had already started making podcasts for his teaching audiences to listen to advice and guidance about new technology. He thought that something along these lines would be good to do with young people but it had to be live and as you know podcasts are anything but live. Live is exciting, live is risky and later Russell discovered, live is easier to do!  Doing a live podcast on the Internet as a Radio Show with some children seemed like the right thing to try next.  Russell tried lots of different equipment looking for the perfect solution, he even reconfigured other people's broadcasting equipment to broadcast live on the internet. 

In September 2008, Russell started broadcasting a live Radio Show each month to educators about Learning & Teaching in the C21st and started Anderton Tiger Radio.  He also runs Live Radio Workshops in schools and colleges so that learners can experience the thrill and excitement of producing a live radio show.  More about Russell’s live radio shows and to listen again to any of his broadcasts please visit www.andertontiger.com/podcasts  In September 2009, Russell brought a new radio station system to the market The Anderton Tiger Broadcaster it is packed with technology to make broadcasting easy.  Russell often has his radio studio with him and colleagues get to see how by using this equipment they can engage reluctant writers, stretch more able students and 21st Century engage with learners of all ages and abilities.  Russell often talks about creative problem solving and vital survival skills for the C21st and the ability to collaborate to make a live radio show is a brilliant way of developing these skills. 

In May 2011, Russell brought his second broadcasting product to the market, The Anderton Tiger Desktop.  It is no accident that this turnkey radio station is the cheapest digital school radio station on the market.  It has been well received and has the highest best of class 5 star rating on the independent website Innovate My School - Desktop School Radio

For BETT 2012 - Russell came up with the idea of creating a live BETT Radio station to compliment the existing BETT Show activities.  He has been running BETT Radio since September 2011 and will continue to produce a live show each month right up to BETT2013, where you will find him with his BETT Radio Studio on the Professor Stephen Heppell's Central Feature.
