In NSW we have actively pushed boundaries and buttons to support innovation and to move e-learning forward. Our work has been based on the premise that: - the needs, interests... Read Full Story

[image : Mr Jaded] We folks that’s it for another year. I’ve worked out how to feed my Google reader into my blog and so begins my reading for the next month or two. I’ll be dis-organising the FLNW2 trip over January and with Barbara Dieu’s arrival my participation at EVO will also keep me busy. I now have four projects on the go otherwise.

In 2005 a number of us worked on an inter-state LearnScope project with Feral Arts in Brisbane. They have been exploring tools and issues around digital storytelling and place for many years.

We live in an age where to be public means to be accountable. We all understand bullying, harrassment and cyber-bullying as no more nor less than those taunts we endured as children in the school grounds or perhaps on the way out from them.
