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!

Where's your hole now Greenies??

Victory in closure of ozone hole over Australia, NZ
It was the biggest environmental issue of the 1980s, but today there is positive news about the hole in the earth's ozone layer. Australian scientists say the ozone hole is shrinking, and that it could close completely by the end of the century.
That's good news for Australians and New Zealanders who have had the scorching sun bearing down on them for decades.

Isn't it funny how such a hot-top of the 1980's and 90's - the Ozone hole and our contribution to creating it is suddenly off the agenda for the environment debate here in Australia!

Did you know that it had shrunk and is likely to complete close up?

I didn't.

The radical environmental nutters of course would not want you to know. They have moved on, they don't care about ozone, cfc's and the like. The only care about Carbon emissions now.

Sad really.

I am glad the Ozone layer is repairing itself, of course, I am sure it would have anyway ;)
