I travelled to Melbourne for the Adobe Educator's Conference where I ran an hour and half workshop aligning Adobe Express with the ACARA V9 Digital Literacy General Capability, presented a ten-minute Creative Catalyst Talk, and sat on the panel for Curly Questions where we explored generative AI in education. You can see more by visiting Dr Tim Kitchen's Page. You will find the plenary talks and resources there as well as my presentations.
More videos will be added in time.

April 2024 saw me return to the classroom after a corporate restructuring. Since April, I have been working on a .6 contract with St Ritas College, reconnecting with my Adobe Creative Educator Innovator, Google Innovator, and Microsoft Innovative Educator communities.
July 2022 to March 2024 was very exciting and a wonderful learning opportunity with Datacom
July 2022 to March 2024 was very exciting and a wonderful learning opportunity with Datacom
My (almost) two years with Datacom were a wonderful opportunity to work with teachers around Australia, keynote at WATSSA and conduct deep research, create resources, and deep dive into ACARA V9 and AITSL to formulate ways that might enhance teachers' adoption and leveraging of technology in the classroom so that both they and their students might develop their transferable skills and digital literacy. I worked with Lora Blackman and the indomitable Claire Furlong and produced work of which I am very proud.

After thirty-three years in the classroom and twenty-two at Mt St Michaels' College Ashgrove, I was invited to join Datacom as a national Education Innovation Specialist. The challenge and excitement this role has engendered in me have been life-giving. While leaving my students, my colleagues and my most precious Writers' Club was difficult, there were so many signs that I ought to accept this new opportunity at a time when many my age might be considering retirement. My writers had over the last twelve years, built a sustainable culture that could be passed down from senior students to the girls coming through the ranks and I am sure that they will keep it operating if supported.

My new role has a greater reach where my passion for teaching can help other educators. Lora Bance, the Education Innovation Lead, and I have built upon the foundational work of Dr, Kristy Corser, a Datacom alumnus and initial creator of the DC-TAM and DC-SAM (self-refective surveys that inform the tailored PD, to create a three-year reiterative professional development program, to help teachers leverage technology with a focus on learning, to reimagine teaching for improved student outcomes. This program is multi-leveled and targeted and the depth and breadth of the Australian research used to inform it has really stimulated my thinking and reignited my passion for sharing thought leadership around pedagogy and digital affordances in the classroom to help keep my teaching colleagues excited about what might be achieved in their classes.

An Introduction
An Introduction
Teaching in a time of rapid change and work intensification means that we are often left drowning in a sea of others' expectations. My aim with this site is to present complete learning experiences that encourage both teachers and students to leverage effective learning tools. The materials here are not simply replacing textbooks with digital texts, they include creative and in some cases, self-marking resources, to try and lighten the load.
I am an Adobe Education Leader and the Asia Pacific Adobe Master Teacher. I use Adobe Creative Cloud Express (formerly known as Adobe Spark) as a vehicle for many of my activities because it is versatile and allows for both teachers and students to create highly professional-looking products that they care about. Adobe Spark also teaches and reinforces the concept of responsible digital citizenry where the acknowledgment of sources is established. Creative Commons images and music as well as the opportunity to use personally captured images and created music, support best practices but in all cases where images are sourced elsewhere, they are acknowledged in the captions and credits. You will find my contributions to Adobe Inject Creativity broadcasts by following this link. Two years ago I also began to explore the affordances of Google Workspace and have found many tools that prove highly effective and equally as intuitive as the Adobe Creative Cloud Express tools. I am a Google Certified Educator, Google Innovator, and Google Trainer and enjoy the versatility of Google for Education Workspace. Having said that, I use Microsoft Teams and most of its affordances as well.
Helping students find their creativity, their authorial voice, and facilitating their development in soft skills and the affective domain is an essential driving force and motivation in my teaching and co-curricular commitment. Writers' Club is one place where students explore their imaginations in a collaborative and supportive environment. You can see some of our work by clicking the link.
Some tools I use and am learning to use which help me create engaging resources are:

I'm pretty excited to have been included as an Education Influencer. This gives me another way to draw upon all I have learned through my Adobe Education Leader role, Asia-Europe Foundation projects, and Google Certification and Innovator Academy work, to help other teachers in their practice. I have always believed that teachers should help one another and building global connections is a key part of that journey. I'll also be launching the Brisbane Google Global Education Group shortly so watch this space.

The reach and impact of co-coordinating global projects continue to astound me and it is this which motivates me to pursue developing and delivering projects that help students work together and support one another. Students, Camera, Action is another iteration of this drive.

As an Adobe Master Teacher, I took part in a project to help build a bank of resources to help teachers as they dealt with remote learning. I wrote ten lessons, two of which you can see above. These can be found on the Adobe Education Exchange.
