    Honestly, who could resist a headline like "Jupiter's big gash" - but seriously, the recent upgrade to Hubble (HST) has provided new insights into, not only Jupiter, but the amazing extent of our universe.

    But get a load of Jupter's gash! LOL

    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!
