I’m beginning to think that I’m starting to sound like the Grinch in my comments across the web when it comes to reflecting on the K-12 Online Conference and the events incorporated within. So, before readers think that I’m a glass-is-half-empty type of guy, I’m going to list a few of my impressions and hopes [...]

I really enjoy reading Bill Kerr’s blog because there are always challenging ideas and concepts on the boil. He readily admits that he doesn’t take a whole lot of notice of the education blogging world so he explores topics that most of us tend to skim over. When I read his work though, it is [...]
I’m not making any claims to furthering this person’s education at all, although he was a member of the class I shared when I first lobbed at my current school. Andrew Campbell, a talented 16 year old Adelaide musician, has been noticed by talent scouts ahead of the annual ARIAS awards via a podcast published [...]
Disclaimer: This post is a reflection on my experiences this morning at the K-12 Online Conference Week 1 Fireside Chat. It is not a criticism in any shape or form of any of the organisers, participants or the Elluminate environment. This is just my version, captured freshly for my own purposes. I was a bit [...]
I’ve just spent the last three days at PLOTPD training with my principal ond our two new Assistant Principals for 2007. PLOT stands for Professional Learning Online Tool which lead some to the incorrect assumption that it was about technology. No, it wasn’t and it may be a positive sign for the future that the [...]
During this term, I have the pleasure of working with the Year 1/2 classes in our school as part of our Problem Based Learning program to develop an ICT product that showcases their learning. The problems are centred around Aboriginal Studies or animal environments (specifically desert and coastal) and the tools of choice for their [...]
I’m at PLOTPD training for three days (started today) which involves our leadership team for 2007 and so far, it’s been pretty good. There certainly isn’t any sitting in rows listening and taking notes – plenty of interaction. I’ll just share two things here that stuck out for me today. After the ins and outs [...]
Ah, there’s nothing like a little bit of controversy to make people sit up and pay attention. The two education events I’m following at the moment – the Global Summit and the K-12 Online Conference, have attracted some contentious feedback over the past few days that have challenged my (and I’m sure, quite a few [...]
At about 9.30 pm last night I went onto the K-12 Online Conference website and downloaded the fantastic David Warlick pre-conference keynote address. It said 84 MB and I thought, “Good chance to see how my newly upgraded broadband access can handle this via my wireless router.” Not a problem, and before 20 minutes was [...]
I’m insanely jealous that a whole bunch of my Australian (and NZ) online peers are off to the Global Summit in Sydney this week. I did register for a forum to discuss some of the topics leading into the Summit but they closed it off to registered participants only from the beginning of October (which [...]
