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!

DANCING With The Stars has been dealt another blow with blind contestant Gerrard Gosens' dance partner, Jessica Raffa, injured in a fall.

Raffa fell heavily while the pair rehearsed a rumba routine for tomorrow night's show.

It is another fracture in their relationship, following several arguments, the Herald Sun reports.

Raffa was taken to hospital for CAT scans and an MRI.

"Gerrard missed his position and accidentally dropped Jessica, causing her to fall heavily to the floor," a Channel 7 spokesperson said.

Raffa was eventually given permission to leave hospital and return home, but dance training was abandoned.

I am all for equal opportunity and all, but the whole blind-dancer on DWTS seems to me to be somewhat of a dodgy attempt at ratings and profile. Well DWTS-geniuses I guess it was bound to happen!

Personally, I think it would be better if it wasn't a dancer that was dropped ;)
