After attending the Cybersafe training day on Thursday I have pruned my facebook of all current students. I was reluctant to do that because I felt that I was a responsible user of social networking, but the implications and lack of control over what others post, creates vulnerabilities for teachers. I like to be socially […]

Last night I got an email to confirm that I would still be available to work in the UK in September. I have been keeping that option open. It is scary to abandon a plan you felt so sure of. A friend at work questioned me about my decision not to go one day saying […]

Today the eclipse occurs at 7.22 in Sydney. We have lots of Capricorn in this house, Darin is a Cap, and we both have Cap rising. I also have Mars and Venus in Cap, so I’m expecting to feel this series of eclipses and am examining where change is desirable and making it happen. The moon […]
