Working as an educator for ten years is a liberating experience on many fronts. As a freelance educator, it has been a privilege to move between different institutions and work under different curriculums. I've had the opportunity to constantly design new courses, lectures, and be part of many debates revolving around creative process, digital media, multimedia, graphic design, and visual arts. Nobody could wish for a more fertile learning curve than one comprised of such diversity.
On a self-imposed sabbatical, I have taken time out to focus on my own studies, design and art making. This page was originally designed to share thoughts and ideas on education, and I've decided to retain it's presence, even though I've stopped teaching.
I plan to share my experiences and thoughts as a creative digital & multimedia lecturer. Technology is an exciting thing to play with as an artist, designer, and educator. It is also exhausting, as keeping up with it, is a never-ending learning process.
I guess the single most important lesson learnt, is that there's no point in pretending to know it all – it's just too much! It's far better to collaborate technological solutions with your students, who generally know far more about the tools they're playing with, than you'll even be able to.
