Jason+Hando-+Australia

Hi, my name is [|Jason Hando] and I am a teacher of Design and Computing subjects and Web Developer in Sydney, Australia. Over the years I have filled many roles but my most important have been:
 * Outreach Coordinator, leading teams of students and staff overseas to help communities in developing countries and to also embark on a teenage rite of passage before our students leave school. Read about the 2007 [|Thailand Outreach].
 * Senior Marker with the [|Higher School Certificate] and syllabus review committee member for Information Processes and Technology. This was a process in reviewing a curriculum document as part of a team of experienced teachers. I learnt a lot about curriculum development and policy at State level.
 * Head Teacher, leading a team of inspirational teachers and developing innovative courses using online learning modules via an interactive website
 * Lecturer for [|Newcastle University] in their Masters in Educational Studies program. I was able to encourage teachers training in Mathematics education to use technology to engage learners.
 * Software Consultant and Trainer for distance education schools in New South Wales (my state) such as [|Dubbo School of Distance Education] and [|Sydney School of Distance Education]. This included working with my favourite two web systems - [|Moodle] and [|Joomla!]

My latest adventures include writing my own blog, starting my own podcast, connecting with many experienced educators around the world using [|Skype], [|Twitter], email, [|Wikispaces], ... whatever I can get my hands on and whatever works. I'm greatly enjoyed presenting about my Moodle exploits in the [|K12 Online Conference] and would encourage every teacher to get involved by attending whatever sessions arouse their interests. The conference material will be available for anytime download.
