		<title>Have pen can teach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve received the following correspondence via friends in the literacy and ESL fields. It&#8217;s from the Australian Council for ADult LIteracy (ACAL).
TAFE Qualifications
The Department of Education and Training made a recent decision, without warning or consultation with the field, to reduce the minimum qualification needed for teaching in TAFE from a graduate teaching qualification to [...]]]></description>

It never ceases to amaze that in departments where the core business is education and highly skilled and capable teachers are employed to do just that, we continue to hand the decision making powers around educational technologies to IT people. What&#8217;s wrong [...]]]></description>

and it goes on&#8230;
According to the vatican &#8220;The washing machine has had a greater liberating role for women than the pill&#8221;.
Yeah right &#8230;. so women can fit working fulltime, raising children, cooking meals, AND all the housework into 24 hours.

Another International Womens&#8217; Day has come and gone. I can&#8217;t help but feel cynicism about the bulk of local &#8216;celebrations&#8217; that focus on &#8216;leadership&#8217;; I&#8217;ve been to them myself. You don&#8217;t have to change women to become leaders; its the systems that need to change. But in the meantime the Government can pat itself [...]]]></description>

I came across the following text accompanying the image above on FlickR. It&#8217;s from a Chris Widener&#8217;s post -What in the World Are You Doing? &#8211; excerpted from Jim Rohn&#8217;s Twelfth Pillar of Success: Legacy
It&#8217;s worth republishing to follow last night&#8217;s post of mine&#8230;
&#8220;This week I want to talk with you about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rallying point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Change. It happens at a snails pace, on the backs of individuals with passion, commitment and foresight.
It happens where individuals transect multiple paradigms. To the front, their primary motivation; to the left, the systems they must influence to achieve this; to the right, the mavericks; behind, their own well-being. They filter, interpret, influence, negotiate and [...]]]></description>

		<title>let them eat dirt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In an International Herald Tribune article &#8211; Eating dirt can be good for you &#8211; just ask babies &#8211; Jane Brody quotes Dr. Joel Weinstock saying that  &#8220;Children should be allowed to go barefoot in the dirt, play in the dirt, and not have to wash their hands when they come in to eat&#8221;.

Yep I LOVE FLICKR
The joy and benefits FlickR brings to me as an image sharing site far outweigh the meager $50 odd a year it costs me for a pro account. I love being able to share my life and visual captures of the world around me with those who are prepared to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember playing tag chasey in the playground as a kid?
The one that&#8217;s &#8220;it&#8221; chases the rest of a group and &#8216;tags&#8217; another individual by touching them who then becomes &#8220;it&#8221;. It was a good way of getting some aerobic exercise and keeping our BMI down. And it was fun if you were a voluntary participant.

The highway crosses the Taklamakan desert from north to south with a &#8216;total length of the highway is 552km; approximately 446km of the highway cross uninhabited areas covered by shifting sand dunes, making it [...]]]></description>
