Education and culture are ever-evolving and show that we really never do (or never should) stop learning. Therefore, it is also important to take advantage of the educational opportunities that we are presented with. EducationDynamics has a new video that encourages people to go back to school and continue their learning process. This video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDfew0YcDTo.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Emily (EducationDynamics)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-3266097391776744372009-01-07T13:01:00.000+11:002009-01-07T13:01:00.000+11:00Thank you for those kind words, Carolyn.

Your sense of fun and humour shine through in your posts and in your teaching too and this is what endears you I think. Your insight in your blog posts and ability to reflect are goals I try to aspire to. I look forward to keeping up with your life in Queensland and hope we see you back over this side of the ditch again soon. I will miss you!<BR/>Fly high and enjoy the sun.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464510128406258242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-78597912699301805302008-12-30T14:26:00.000+11:002008-12-30T14:26:00.000+11:00Thanks, Claire.

You have been a very positive influence on me and continue to be, and one that I will continue to look to. <BR/><BR/>In particular, your willingness to share you experiences and observations as a teacher and your modelling of openness have always been both insightful and inspiring.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck to you in your new position!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-34484509959592818322008-12-29T19:12:00.000+11:002008-12-29T19:12:00.000+11:00Looking forward to it, Peta.

I am hoping that I will be able to return to Otago Polytechnic in some form or another later this year - OP is doing great work and I really would like to be part of whats happening. I am presenting an online session for the OP PD day in February about how I am developing my ePortfolio.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, thank you for all your support during the last couple of years. I am planning to keep bugging you - it will be interesting to hear your view on my adventures in the aged care sector.Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-36341088858447136072008-12-29T15:01:00.000+11:002008-12-29T15:01:00.000+11:00Hey Sarah, good on you for getting and taking the ...Hey Sarah, good on you for getting and taking the opportunity in Brisbane.. 6 months isn't very long, but I'm sure you'll make a strong enough impact that it will lead onto other contracts. It is a big loss to Otago Polytechnic to see a person with your passion and skills in online communication and networking take the leap, and I try hard not to look darkly on our bosses for not offering you something better and retaining you here with us. Perhaps over the next 6 months they will find time to look up from the 12 inches in front of them, and come to see the loss and bring you back with more of a role in helping other staff develop the skills you have. It has been great to watch you become so empowered through this stuff, and even better to get to know you through it and share many a laugh. Thanks for all your help and support over the past 2 years we've worked together, it has been a real hoot. I'm looking forward to a new side to our collaborations from now on. Our blogs will be an extra important connection from now on...Leigh Blackallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845313396595646728noreply@blogger.com
