Welcome

The first day of my blog has been wild and windy.

The storms that trashed Coffs Harbour are heading our way.

The CGVE kids had a birthday party for one of their friends in the student lounge today. I was doing my lesson preparation to the sounds of fun and balloons popping. Took a break from Dreamweaver to steal the odd potato chip.

One of our favourite teachers, Norma who retired last year provided morning tea and proudly introduced her beautiful new granddaughter to us all. I tried to enrol the child in an IT course but apparently, 6 months old is too young. They haven't heard of "hot housing" obviously.

I'm starting this blog to:

• Reveal the hard working life of a dedicated TAFE IT Teacher who loves his job.
  
• Demonstrate to students the new emerging Web Technologies available.
  
• Push my own learning curve.
  
• Find students who I have taught in the AG12 computer room since 1987.
  
• See if anyone out there remembers me throwing the Apricot computer out the window in 1988.
  
• To have something else to do while I'm watching the ABC News.
  
• Inform my Students of current issues I want them to be aware of.
• Practice typing under water with my mouth full of marbles.
