Sally Avern's Professional Journey

 Whole School Teams Transfer Our school is transferring from a one-drive, onenote, gdrive, combo, outlook,  (which is a bit messy) to a Teams one stop shop for all communication and collaborative work.  As I have done work on this before, I have joined the Digital Innovation Team and will be heading the transfer along with my other digital native colleagues.
