Alex, as you have done me the courtesy of addressing me personally in your most recent blog post, I will do the same here as I engage with the challenges and queries that you pose. You are dead right – at no stage in my recent post do I describe what my classrooms look like [...]

I’ve been trying really hard to keep tabs on the travelling roadshow otherwise known as the Future Learning in a Networked World unconference. Such a amazing idea – get a diverse bunch of educators from around the world with expertise in various forms of e-learning and online education, using a flat organisational structure and get [...]
As I mentioned on Tuesday, Alex Hayes responded to my Blurry Visions post with a whole bunch of insight – I would urge regular readers who may only read via RSS subscription to go and read the whole thing, comments and all to gain some context. I was checking my blog while I was waiting [...]
One of the major things confronting the education sector is the new ways that digital information can be redirected, reused and reshaped via the format of RSS.

This was to a f2f audience of nearly 60 and out to 9 venues via Centra. Now I reckon that doing demonstrations of Web 2.0/social software/ [...]
Just spent tonight putting the finishing touches on two goes at 15 minutes of fame at the Web 2.0 Showcase at TSOF tomorrow afternoon. I’ve got my links ready on my personal wiki and yesterday I had the brainwave of putting together a StartPage for the event that could showcase a variety of the presenters’ [...]
My sinuses have been playing up, and I’m currently suffering the worst hayfever since the early nineties. Back then, I was teaching in Port Augusta, gateway to the Outback and from late winter the dry northerlies would bring down the red dust from the direction of Woomera and beyond. Moving back to Adelaide and a [...]
Last Thursday I had the privelege of a Skype conversation with Sydney based mobile-technologies-in-education advocate, Alexander Hayes as part of the Talking VTE series. We talked about the impact of emerging mobile technologies and their impact and possibilities for the primary school classroom – as usual with any conversation with Alex, I have my mind [...]
