  • Must see information

    Me again! Sorry for the abundance of information but I just read this article and if you haven’t seen it – you really need to have a look. The link will take you to the new kindle which is a ebook. Personally I swore that I would never ever contemplate a ebook. Now I am…

  • Next Saturday session

    Hopefully I have resolved the shared document issues for the active students. You will find that they can both be accessed via the resources tab in the Ning Network site. For the non active student members of the network for privacy reasons you can not access this information. Google is having a little bit of…

  • Some interesting reading on the role technology increasing plays in teaching and training

    I think this has some interesting implications for the over 45 age group. I for one have been struggling with the whole blogging thing – but I guess if this is the way we are heading, the best way to learn is to do. Horizons Project: http://horizon.nmc.org/wiki/Main_PageThe role of emerging technologies, their implications for education…

  • Holidays and the Future

    Well I am back from my holiday in Nth Qld. Getting off the plane, coming from sun, surf and 30 degree days to cold, wet and windy conditions is not only a shock to the body but was a brutal shock to the brain that I had to go to work again, the weather is…

  • The Trainer aka Change Manger

    I thought I would talk to you all about Change Management and what I learnt in a few workshops I attended. I will not go through all aspects of change and the management of change but have found recognising the transition process and how individuals deal with it is the first step to manageing it.…

  • Generational Generalisations

    The workplace is in a unique point in history. It is the first time that four different generational groups are represented at the same time. While generational labels can be limiting and won’t apply to all members of a cohort exactly, I have found that broad generational attributes can be a useful starting point to…

  • Finding The 25th Hour

    I’m late already. Sorry for that. I was without gadget contact for a few days for an extended Easter weekend and forgot that the deadlines continue to tick over. A lapse indeed, of the sort that is becoming more costly as the GFC continues to provide fodder for Fairfax and the like. I have found…
