An Expat Educator in Asia

I am now back in Hong Kong and on the bus on the way from the airport to home in Down town Sheung Wan. Before I get engulfed by the piles of “to dos” that will be awaiting me, I want to take a moment to reflect on the great people that gathered in Doha [...]

Why was the Flat Classroom Conference at Doha such a significant event for me and many other teachers who attended? Am I just one of the already converted who “gets” the concept of connecting students globally via technology and thus a sucker for any event bringing students together and challenging them to use ICT in [...]

Whilst at the Flat Classroom conference today, Anne Baird showed me Super Clubs Plus and informed me that the Victorian Education Department has purchased a license for every school in the state to have access to this.
