I am a teacher and writer based in Melbourne, Australia. I’m the author of three books of poetry and several resource books for senior English students as well as many articles and reviews.

I’m interested in reading, writing, photography, landscape, memory, and integrating technology in learning.

This site is a directory of his online content and links to the various web pages, blogs and wikis I’ve been involved in building over the last few years.

At that stage Microsoft was on the skids: bloated old-fashioned desktop programs and slow to the internet. The software suite they had made their name on (aka Office) […]

Ed-Tech in the age of Facebook

I was an early advocate for the internet, started blogging pretty much as soon as it was possible, built web-sites, built digital resources, helped establish online communities and took up tools like OneNote, with gusto.
