LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Hi Alice (and the US)
Jamie McKenzie is also highly respected here in Australia and in fact, is giving
one of the keynote
addresses at the ISIS Conference, (Information Services in Schools) which is a huge
online
conference hosted by Charles Sturt University. Check out
http://www.csu.edu.au/cstl/isis because you
can still enrol and you don't have to go any further than your computer!
When Jamie was here a couple of years ago his presentations were booked out
(amazing because it was
about $A100 a head, which is lots in comparison) but he really had an impact. His
notions of guide
on the side not sage on the stage, just-in-time learning not just-in-case, adult
learning, and
critical masses of computers (in the classrooms not in a lab) really made a huge
impact, and the
pond is still rippling. My principal heard the wisdom of the words, and really
committed himself to
the concepts and now Palmerston is one of the leaders in ICT in primary schools -
and we spread the
word and are always helping others to reach our standards.
You can find Jamie at http://www.fno.org and have his monthly e-zine (hate the
word) emailed free!
He is a true champion of our cause and if he ever gets back here, I will be first
in the queue.
Another JmcK groupie,
Cheers
Barbara
