According to Peter West, director of Learning Management Systems in Australia, schools should aim to ensure their staff includes teachers who have expertise in modern tech skills and e-learning experience. West notes that because more schools than ever are using blended and flipped learning, hiring early tech adopters can positively impact school culture and provide future leaders who can help other school staff get up to speed on modern education technology. West suggests that a staff member who is already tech-savvy should be involved in the hiring process, as they will be familiar with key skills to look for when assessing CVs and in interviews.
