OK, so I was wrong! In my communications so far I have suggested tools like Twitter will reduce email overload… Now I’m wondering why I even suggested that. Do they really, or are we just spreading the information overload? Perhaps we are, perhaps we are all searching for ways to filter the masses of information out [...]
The workplace challenge At my current workplace there has been a challenge issued by our Institute Director to reduce our current ‘Email Overload’. It’s a really good idea and was cleverly kicked off with a challenge set out in a video message (not email). I think this method of promotion and communication has seen a [...]

This morning we had to walk the development to see all the builders, the cement trucks and men laying driveways. He loves being in the kitchen, “look, see, mummy?” So cute. This evening we made [...]

We were exploring how the iPad can creative better learning experiences for learners with disabilities. The project was called, IncludeMe! You can visit our project site here.

I just found a great presentation. Some great points. “Brands are born of experiences” “Are you building brand ambassadors or assassins?” “Hire a photographer for head shots” – aint that the truth? “Reward staff publicly” and, this one is really key - ”How can companies keep employees from doing stupid things? “The same way it can [...]
Just made a Prezi to give a bit of background on what the LTT (Learning Technology Team) accomplished from 2007 -2010 as many of us are meeting today to discuss the future of the team and what our focus could be for the next… years. I am totally amazed at all the things we achieved. [...]
I was lucky enough to travel up to Brisbane in May for the The Third International m-libraries Conference where I was part of something quite extraordinary. I sat in a room with researchers, educators, techies, managers and library professionals sharing experiences and expertise with delivering learning and managing information using mobile devices. There were workshops, presentations [...]
Well, I’ve had this blog for just over four years now and have somewhat neglected it over the last two years.
