Big Day in Queensland

with one comment

A big thankyou to Scot Stein­hardt, Prin­cipal of Mount Gravatt High School. He runs a tight ship, and had a big day yes­ter­day with “big names” arriv­ing from all corners of Aus­tralia to get some of his time.  Thanks, Scot. And live that dream!

To all the teach­ers who atten­ded and answered my ran­dom ques­tions. Thanks.

Also, thanks to Sean Tier­ney for host­ing me — and provid­ing some excel­lent guid­ance from a professional’s per­spect­ive. Notes from my day are pos­ted here, for com­ments.

Year 10 (and the Year 11s who sub­vers­ively arrived, too) at Mount Gravatt: remem­ber Astro­nauts and Prin­cesses. You guys have the oppor­tun­ity to do any­thing you want. First thing, is ensure that the Wiki­pe­dia entries for your school, and your local area are up to date and informative.

Later that night, Dif­fer­ence of Opin­ion on the ABC covered this whole area of the digital gen­er­a­tion gap.

And even later, Chris Saad, Cody Robb and I had a long dis­cus­sion on the debate. Mount Gravatt came up in the pod­cast. The world is small when its highly connected.
