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!

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.

Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has issued an ultimatum to the country's opposition after playing a leading role at a forum on climate change at the United Nations.
Mr Rudd co-hosted a round-table discussion with 20 counties on the obstacles to a deal on climate change in December. The talks ran for two hours and included China, South Korea and the Maldives.Mr Rudd says there needs to be a deal between developed and developing countries."What the world needs is a grand bargain between the developed world and the developing world in order to reach an outcome for the planet as a whole," he said. After the talks, Mr Rudd and climate change minister, Penny Wong, issued a October 19 deadline for the Federal Opposition to put forward its amendments on the Emissions Trading Scheme.
This story disappoints me.
And no, its not about my issues with emmissions trading or climate change.
This is our country's leader. Our Prime Minister. He has been in one of the spotlight's of the world, through the G20 and United Nations visit in New York this week.
It is unfortunate, in my opinio, that Rudd has used this as an opportunity for political grand-standing. Its not enough to just represent the interests of our nation to the world, but in his usual whim, point the finger back to local political issues my issuing this "ultimatum" to the Coalition.
What a crock! Grow up KRudd!

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has been labelled a serial killer on US TV for approving the culling of feral camels.
Erin Burnett, an anchor on American financial news channel CNBC, launched a verbal attack targetting Rudd following his government's decision to spend $A19 million to cull feral camels in the outback. Watch the video here. Rudd rant begins at 3 mins 15 secsMedia folk - its called a "Cull" and is common place here in Australia for overpopulated fauna in our bush. It is done to maintain a balance in the ecosystems and is vetted by our environmental authorities.
This system of population management among wild animals is important to ensure their existence in our environment!
Do your research journalists!
