Our 50th podcast interview is with Mark Woodland, founder of the Australian edtech company, Our Xplor, used in over 3,000 schools in Australia and the U.K. with an impact on over 700,000 pupils! 

In this 19-minute podcast, we ask what does childcare, working in the Australian army and developing a school management information all have in common?

Listen to Mark and Teacher Toolkit founder, Ross McGill discuss how Mark went from working in the Australian army to coding his own education app and how Mark's platform automates administration tasks so that teachers can focus on teaching! We also examine teacher workload and the opportunities around Our Xplor to automate tasks and the value in giving kids practical, economics advice.

Mark also reiterates the importance of continued learning for people in leadership and how he manages a team of 70 employees and appoints the right people around him. We dig deeper to discover the hardest task Mark faced in the army and discover what Mark’s surprising breakfast fuel is that keeps him going!

You can follow Mark on Twitter and watch him explain his story on many YouTube videos. Learn how Our Xplor can make school administration tasks easier for you and your teaching colleagues. Visit www.OurXplor.com.
