and finally, my work

I am currently working in education and innovation for North Coast Institute, TAFE NSW. The North Coast of NSW is a great place to live and TAFE is a great place to work. I started doing some teaching in the I.T. faculty and have just developed and grown from there. I have worked in the entertainment industry, tourism and hospitality and travelled quite a bit overseas (never enough though).

My current role involves supporting teachers with their e-Learning and technology needs (I work with the Learning Technology Team, check out our wiki and the team blog). I assist with resource development, building courses in the Moodle LMS. I work on various web projects, assist staff with funding applications, project management and I am often asked to run sessions on engaging generations X & Y.

I love exploring new and emerging technology and possible applications for teaching and learning. I am particularly interested in Second Life, Web 2.0 tools, social networking, mobile technology, RSS, moblogging, blogging and wiki tools.
