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!

Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world - (song is Please don't go by Barcelona)

Man Made Marvels - Okinawa Aquarium by Mediafreaks from Aldric Chang on Vimeo.

Sometimes you come across things that just make you stop for a few minutes. The Kuroshio Sea video above is one such example.

The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, located in Okinawa, Japan, is the world's second largest aquarium behind the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. The aquarium is a part of the Ocean Expo Commemorative National Government Park located in Motobu, Okinawa. The main tank called the 'Kuroshio Sea' holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world's largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters.

Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.

This aquarium is one of only a very few that keep whale sharks in captivity, and is currently trying to breed them.

The video's are high quality and do use a bit of bandwidth and data. But it is well worth it at least once.

Take five minutes, sit back, listen and enjoy the view.
