Hi,
I have completed a degree in Primary Teaching, this was a BA (hons) course. Unfortunately, due to a very tough placement, I have decided against teaching. I really want to work with children and education but not in a teacher capacity. I have always loved IT and was wondering about creating educational software. I would love to hear your opinions on what others jobs are out there for me, and how I could combine my degree with IT.
Thanks in advance, Megan - x

There are some great schools out there with very supportive staff. why not look for a part time job in a school, in a nice area with a good reputation? A part time job would give you time to think of other things, whilst keeping your hand in. Could you start up a website for teachers, with resources for teaching IT in Primary schools?
My friend works for Southport council- his job is to visit school kids who have been excluded or who refuse to go to school, set them up with a PC and then arrange for them to be tutored online in various subjects.
You could also just write an educational website and maybe sell CD-ROMS to schools, to help them teach ANY aspect of Primary school- art or drama or whatever you know about. You could make some money doing this too.
Good luck!x
