Sue Waters Blog

About

Image of Sue WatersMy name is Sue Waters and you may also know me as the editor of The Edublogger. But before I tell you about my web sites let me first give you a glimpse of who I am.

Who Am I?

I’m Australian based in Perth and are married with two kids. While my work as an aquaculture lecturer, at Challenger TAFE, earned me the vote of the coolest job title my passion is the use of technology to enhance student learning.

My technology use has changed considerably since I was first introduced to it’s potential in 2000; fromImage of australia a LMS (WebCT) to Virtual Classrooms (Elluminate), mobile technologies (spyglasses, PDAs, iPods) and Web 2.0 (blogs, wikis etc).

My passion for technology has lead to my transition from aquaculture lecturer, to facilitating professional development workshops on elearning and web 2.0 technologies to my current role as editor of The Edublogger and working for Edublogs as Edublogs Community Facilitator.

While I do spend considerable time helping and mentoring others — I do make time for for my personal and family life. My favorite ways of relaxing are reading a good book or going to a movie at the cinema.

As a blogger I stands for — practical application of technologies in education, and most importantly HELPING OTHERS learn how to use these technologies.

About My Web Sites

I have been sharing my experiences with Web 2.0, e-learning and m-learning (mobile learning) using a range of web sites since early 2006 - read more about my other web sites here!

Many of my sites are called Mobile Technology in TAFE because my original focus was mlearning. Nowadays my sites cover a wide range of information on using technology with students. TAFE stands Tertiary and Further education which is part of the vocational education and training sector.

    Hi Brette
    As you can see I work in Freo and my College is big into the Freo Dockers. Went with Podomatic because I liked the way I could have all my episodes on the one page and also many other educators were also using it.
