I graduated with a GradDip in //ICT Education// in 1995 and spent 10 years living in Cairns teaching and running the school network. In 2001 I completed a Master of Education with my major being //Technology Education//. In 2005 I moved back to my home town of Toowoomba and have been teaching ICTs and running the school network since. I have seen many changes over the years, with the major one being the full integration of ICTs into all subject areas across the school. I still firmly believe that there is a place for ICT specific subjects in the curriculum, and really enjoy teaching the more advanced aspects of the use of Technology to our students. I also devote a considerable amount of time to the smooth integration of software applications in our educational setting. ||
