No-one in my aggregator writes succinct posts like John Pederson. I don’t understand all of his cryptic thoughts but some of his points are pure gold. As I gear up for a few presentations and workshops at our local CEGSA conference and plan for an exciting event in Melbourne later in August, this gem is [...]

I’m keeping tabs on the excitement around the Edubloggercon meetup that preceded the start of the big NECC event in the States overnight. It seems the best way to access what some of my contacts / colleagues in this part of the world is via twitter. As news, links and tidbits come to light, they [...]
I’ve been thinking a bit about why blogging works for me, particularly as I have a few presentations in the near future that will focus on the benefits of embracing an online presence and the building of a professional learning network. Despite the fact I use a PageFlakes startpage, have multiple wikis, enjoy a twitter [...]
For a little while I’ve puzzled over how to get more of my colleagues engaging in online learning and using Web 2.0 tools to share their tools and expertise. I know I’ve only been involved in educational blogging for under two years but my view has always been that if an ordinary, average teacher without [...]
I’m trying to duck dive my way through my report writing (a la John Pearce and Paul Harrington), stupidly decided that this week I’d start playing with Google Reader as an alternative to Bloglines but haven’t switched completely to one or the other and consequently am running over a lot of posts twice but this [...]

I think that teacher laptops are fast becoming an integrated part of the work they do. I could not survive without my school laptop and was totally lost last year when it was in repairs for several weeks. I was always borrowing a spare and then becoming anti-social in the evenings as I disappeared into [...]
Boy, this has been a bit drawn out – mainly through my own procrastination and inferior time management skills. My report for the 2006 ICT Learning Grants is up on the wiki where I originally started my efforts. By real research standards, you wouldn’t even call what I’ve cobbled together as “research” but it does [...]
These are my notes from today’s session with Jenny Gore which was organised by several principals, who closed their schools for the day and assembled over 200 teachers here at Morphettville Racecourse here in Adelaide. The notes are raw, direct extractions from Jenny’s slides and speech – any of my own reflections will be in [...]
