Six months ago I wrote the following post to a new blog. Alas, it went no further:

Putting my money where my mouth is  

Well it has come to this - after several failed attempts at blogging, I need to get one going for work.

So I am going to establish a discipline of blogging regularly…

What has induced this change of behaviour?

After 5 or so years working at CORE Ed, mainly involved in researching various initiatives in educational applications of ICTs, and getting increasingly restless because I was not using my people skills or my science background as much as I would like, along came the ideal opportunity! We secured a contract with the Royal Society of New Zealand to provide curriculum support for their Primary Science Fellows! A chance to work to raise the profile and teaching of science where it really matters. A chance to help teachers enthuse kids about this vital aspect of our culture.

In this blog, I will write about this work, and other aspects of my journey.  I may weave in bits about wine making, drying and using herbs, soft systems ideas, and all sorts of other stuff asising out of a mis-spent six and a half decades on this beautiful but imperilled planet.

So bear with the musings of a semi-geriatric…

For me, blogging is like losing weight, or takimg regular exercise - I know I should do it, but I find it hard to keep motivated. I hope that enrolling in this facilitation course will provide me with the incentive to keep it up!

Watch this space to find out if it works!!
