Jimbo's eduBlog: Multimedia, ICT and Visual Art in the classroom
Profile Information
- Hometown:
- Bris-Vegas, Australia
- School / Work Affiliation
- Teacher Intern
- About Me:
- I'm heavily into ICT / Multimedia and enjoy blurring the boundaries between traditional and digital art.
Prior to commencing my postgrad teaching studies I've spent over ten years working within the ICT / Multimedia industry. In my most recent role, I worked for 'a large organisation' (who shall remain nameless!) in support of e-learning and computer-based flexible delivery learning programs.
I have a Bachelor of Multimedia and am looking forward to dragging schools kicking and screaming into the 21st Century through flexible learning, instructional design, Problem Based Learning, animation, web quests etc.

Here's a couple of good e-learning / Web2.0 presentations that I've recently discovered:
Learning Futures: Web 2.0 for Effective Learning: 'Judy O'Connell'
Web 2.0 Tools in your Classroom: Mark Woolley
Clever Learning PodCast
Fellow Classroom 2.0 member Jason Hando has produced a really interesting PodCast that discusses a number of concerns facing teachers of technology. It draws input from a variety of American and Australian educators and addresses topics such as what to do if your students know more about a certain technology topic. More importantly, how do draw upon that knowledge to improve your classroom lessons.
The Podcast goes for around an hour but is well worth a listen!

Classroom 2.0 Newbie
G'day Guys :-)
I just stumbled across this site yesterday whilst researching 21st Century educational transformation, and I must say I'm pretty impressed! What a great idea. It's awesome to see a collaborative network of like-minded folks who are striving to push education forward. Hopefully this mentality will spread across Australia as well!
Thanks Steve and Art Goddess for the welcome. I was only here 5 minutes and you wanted to be my friend already ;-)…

Lots to explore and learn from here...Gavin
Is it simplistic to assume all Australians are Moodle fans? I'm deep into Moodle myself. I've taught with all the major CMS software and like Moodle the best. (My buddies at Moodle rooms tell me that social networking elements are being built into Moodle profiles for release next year. Have you heard anything about this?

Greetings and welcome from Germany
Hans
Thanks for commenting on my Ning page and visiting my Clever Learning podcast. Good to see another down under ossie (as the American's say) in here digging around.
Cheers,
Jason
best,
Rick
Thanks for accepting my invitation and it is great to connect with others in Oz.
Not sure about the duty of care angle, hotmail was blocked due to bandwidth issues, many sites that one would not want learners to access are still accessible, yet those that make up a learners world today, blocked - still does not make sense to me.
A duty of care is also expected with regards to the learning and quality of the learning provided. I personally feel that we are breaching that duty as the learning we provide on campus, is missing critical elements, elements that learners are asking for and need, to prepare them fully for their future's work and life.
Great if you can integrate by getting learners involved off campus and certainly better than neglecting, however I still firmly believe, all involved in learning in Australia, need to rally and make it clear to government and those making policy decisions, that if we do not improve the current situation, education in Australia is going to take backward steps whilst the rest of the world, forges ahead.
