Why I do what I do….
Have always used PC but just bought myself MacBook. Why?
I have been thinking about the fact that I wanted a Mac now for several months. Why – because I podcast and Macs are meant to be better set up for podcasting. So yesterday my friends in Twitter convinced me that it was time to buy it, they made all the decisions about which [...]
For all the lovers of creating comics ToonDoo has added ability to make ToonBooks
After a very busy week it is nice to catch up with my online world. Normally I read new posts daily but this week got the better of me.
Reading webomatica’s My Blogging Reality Check reminded me that ToonDoo had made my Blog, Wikis and Podcasts comic had made Editor’s pick this week. This comic explains [...]
A fishy tale – studying aquaculture online
While most people enjoyed the weekend with their families I was working hard at work. Get out the violins please…. Several times a year I get my online aquaculture students to attend f2f workshops so that they can learn aquaculture skills and be assessed on their skills.
My online students are all based off-campus and study [...]

Do our teachers really know the potential of Web 2.0?
John from My Other Blog visited my city (Perth, Western Australia – he is from the East coast of Australia – Geelong, Victoria) last week to attend the 2007 World Conference on Science and Technology Education. His reflection on the conference was interesting – I believe he said there was about 1000 participants – [...]
Wireless Woes
The thought process:
Part of my role is m-learning – and yet I have no wireless. How can I talk and demonstrate wireless technology if I have not experienced it first hand. Definitely a valid reason for me to spend my time and hard earned money investing in setting up a wireless network for my home [...]
The stress of talking about Podcasting
You would think, as a podcaster, that putting together a presentation on podcasting would be easy? NOPE!
