Technology and 2013
It has been a elearning week on this blog. I thought it would be a good way to round things off to provide you with an article that discusses the technology predictions for 2013. Technology (like it or not) is going to have a huge impact on everything let alone education and training. Understanding what…

Getting started on elearning
Following on from my last post here is an article about getting into elearning. If you haven’t started doing something, this is the year to get started. I started running elearning start up sessions last year for people who don’t know anything and I hope to run more of them this year. If your interested…

E learning Ignorance
2013 is going to be a big year for elearning. I am not sure what is going to happen and I don’t think that many will notice it but this will be the year that elearning really starts to take over some of the more traditional forms of learning. It is already happening and many…

Take a few minutes to read it and like the author ask yourself the question, why are the various State Governments slashing publicly funded VET education? It really doesn’t make much sense. Read the article here.…

What’s wrong here?
What’s wrong with this video? Can’t see the video – click here. I don’t want to be ageist but there is one person on this committee who is young and the rest appear to be closing in on retirement. If you want to change the future of education in Australia you need to talk to…

Poor Education but Business as Usual
This article is exactly why I don’t see any significant changes occuring to Education over the next few years.

That is disgusting. Of…

Free Wireless Internet
Awesome – but not to be for most of us. The decision for free wireless internet has been made in Adelaide City. What affect will that have on the population, information flow and education? I’m not sure but that is a great idea. In NSW we are going to get a bigger and better Darling…

Is this possibly the most meaningless statement ever written?
Below is a link to the Education Bill 2012. If you read this at tell me what it is going to do then please let me know because I think it could be one of the best examples of many words used to say nothing. Quite tricky to be able to do that. No doubt…

No I’m not missing something but Australia is
My recent post on ‘Am I missing something‘ was essentially about the ridiculous funding cuts to Australian Education. Sadly these recent cuts which have been occurring over the last few years have resulted in a lowered standard of education across the board. Please read this recent article from the Financial Review on how far…

Am I missing something
I’m confused. This is the statement from Peter Garrett, Australia risks lower living standards and lost wealth if it doesn’t improve its education system, Education Minister Peter Garrett said in Sydney today. Failure to improve the nation’s schools would result in a loss over the next 80 years equal to Australia’s current annual economic output of A$1.5 trillion…
