Me and my profession

As a qualified educator, and educator of the educators, I am a communications expert; understanding how and why information delivery works and doesn't work. I have experience with technology and consider myself an information-futurist. I am a dreamer!

Now, enough of that wank and onto some more...I have been a teacher of modern English and literature, taught people the skills of learning, teaching and communicating. A can look at big and little pictures and advise on getting from point A to point B. I can read maps!

I am an excellent facilitator, negotiator and have, on many occasions in the past, presented to small and large groups alike. I am a talker!

My experience in commercial enterprise has helped me take a leap from the structure and politic of government back into the real world. I am a thinker!

But I am a teacher; was a teacher of skills and knowledge, and now, like most of us, just a teacher.

Specialties:

Information and communication developer, reviewer and planner, advice on learning, elearning and services online. I see the past and dream the future. I can use smart and dumb tools. A sharer and a listener. A strategist and a dreamer. I can negotiate with people from all walks. I know where I am at and where you want to be. I can read maps!

A sign of things to come? "BER project collapse" - ABC News, #ausvotes

via newmatilda.com

A building frame for a $1 million outdoor learning centre in southern New South Wales has come tumbling down.

No-one was injured when the structure collapsed at Kooringal Public School in Wagga Wagga yesterday.

A New South Wales Education Department spokesman says the incident is being investigated by Workcover and the contractor who is doing the B-E-R project.

A sign of things to come? A literal collapse of a school building built under the Building the Education Revolution (BER) program.

Fortunately, and unlike the Insulation program, no-one was injured. Though I suspect, if this gets any other media coverage, it could hurt a few political-egos.
