Written by a classroom teacher and a self confessed 'ICT enthusiast' this blog looks at some relatively advanced issues due to the fact that the school at which this blogger teaches is very advanced from an ICT perspective with a"mobile computing program, that sees students with personal mobile devices, laptops".I found this blog hard work because, among other things, it attempts to unravel the work of Bloom and his Taxonomy of Educational Objectives which has become a key tool in structuring and understanding the learning process.

A Life As A Beginning Primary School Teacher

Well this title kind of speaks for itself!
Reading the ramblings of Adrian almlost feels like it could be my own writing in 12 months time. It doesn't particulalry put my mind at rest by any means, but it is an interesting introduction for what we have to look forward to down the track. Through this blog, we can learn from Adrians leg work and various mistakes and insights he has made along the way.
For instance - How to get casual Work in Sydney, the importance of links within the local community.
