About Me
Currently, I am exploring ways of training in mediation and facilitation work. having for several years taught literacy, communication, computers and study skills at TAFE, Sydney. I completed the Certificate in Management Communication from Ultimo TAFE in 2008, run by Wendy Zammit which inspired me to search out simpler ways to use Web2 tools to enhance the learning experience for my students.
More recently I've completed the TAA training course as well as Communicating with Online Technologies course to keep up with wikis, moodles, Second Life, and everything else!

Everybody - check this wonderful site out. Although it's about teaching maths to adults, it challenges our teaching. I found this most inspiring - some really good ideas.

Hi Rebecca-- regarding adding friends outside of edna, you can't in here -- they have to be part of the community. To add a friend, just hunt people down via interest or name, then click Add colleague under their names.
Cheers!
