    A number of you may be mentors. Often as trainers we are asked to be mentors or setup mentor programs.

    Great site check it out. One of the greatest things about the Internet is the instant access to so many resources and information. One of the most frustrating things is my first point.

    It appears that the Education Department in NSW maybe going to allow school students to access social media sites like Facebook etc. I wonder if that will also apply to TAFE students who are generally over 18 but are also screened out of basically any social site except for Linkedin and YouTube.

    Please watch this great little video. I love the guy who does the illustrations. That in itself is entertaining but there are a collection of very good points made here on a wide range of topics and time.
