Through 2008 and early 2009 in my continued role as Director of Streamfolio Pty Ltd I travelled all over Australia and New Zealand extensively, selling wearable camera equipment, experimenting with ‘Do-It-Yourself’ wearable camera and digital video recorders as well as in-vehicle loop recorder crash cameras.

On December 4-5, 2008 I co-convened the 'Elearning 08' Conference at the University of Sydney, Randwick Roundhouse with my fellow colleague and Manager, Robyn Jay.

Web 2.0 is not new – many of us have used social networking sites like YouTube, TeacherTube and FaceBook. We know about Wikipedia, Skype and podcasting.

In February 14, 2008 as part of my role at NSW Learnscope funded by the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (AFLF) and FLAG I conducted a number of interviews with teams on my travels around the countryside. This was originally loaded to Podomatic but for integrity of the recordings and continuity I've loaded it back here in this website of mine.

I acknowledge at this time technology offered me respite from the conflict of the everyday and virtual reality, alternate reality and mixed mode reality really presented as an appealing escape from the conflicts I was experiencing.

By late 2007 I was at a point in my life of living my everyday with an obsessive compulsive attachment to technology and more importantly frequenting only those locations where I had ‘signal’, an unfettered GSM connection.

For as long as I have had an interest in technology, there has been this recurrent discursive that it is in fact something that disrupts the way in which we learn, that it should be excused for its rudeness by which it interrupts an educators "flow",

The Internet brought with it both good and bad according to some people. I would rather describe it as just is. The worlds most successful project in a contemporary context.

There was it seemed though, a yawning gap in the systems available to match the wearable technology with an online storage and sharing repository that had a playback capacity for online video at the time.

In late 2002 I noted a great deal of movement in the ed-tech space where people were avidly debating the onset of learning management systems. By December 2004 I was an avid critic of the LMS and endorsing research into the social and ethical dimensions of mobile learning - mLearning.

In 2004 as a fledgling lecturer in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Western Australia whilst running the 'Learning Legends' project at Swan City Youth Services I was invited to participate as a lead practitioner in a mobile learning research project with the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (AFLF).

On the 4th September 2005 I boarded a plane from Perth Western Australia disembarking amongst a flotilla of FIFO miner orange flags at Newman Airport.

According to the draft Youth Advantage Strategy published in May 2004, despite the provision of online service delivery that interleaves flexible and negotiable training with traditional forms of delivery, a large number of students continue to drop out of secondary education for a variety of reasons.

Access to mobile technologies is increasingly disrupting the teaching and learning setting, with mobile phones and other hand held or body worn technologies increasingly providing computation ‘on-the-go’.
