Luddites and Football

So here I am sitting alone in the grandly titled Council Meeting Room, having just finished an ICT committee meeting where we discussed amongst other things tablet trials (android or apple?), video conferencing and storage limits....so yes, from the sublime to the, shall we say it, rather less sublime.
So great to sit in a meeting, have the question raised about what is available for independent schools with video excursions and conferencing (the det schools wipe the floor with this stuff), so I put out a tweet and within 30 seconds there's feedback.
It's also great to have the lovely Chris, teacher librarian extraordinaire who is so humble in her approach but so dynamic and keen to get amongst technology, seeing its potential but also seeing its inevitability.
In my opinion, we don't need to be concerned about swapping devices between junior and senior schools. These are kids who are moving between devices without a thought. It is the adult digital immigrants who find it difficult to entertain the dynamic nature of technology.
Anyway onto other matters, tonight I am going here...


I wish I could orient the pic but you get the picture (literally)...football with the Parramatta Eels who are bottom of the ladder on 4 points. Shame. I'm pretty much just going for the food and unlimited alcohol.
