I have taught in the Tasmanian education system for over 20 years, the majority of that time in rural areas. Currently I am teaching at Distance Education Tasmania delivering a combination of print based and electronic units to students around the state, Australia and the world.
On Tuesday 25th November I was able to attend an excellent presentation by Scotsman Derek Robertson on using Nintendo DS games in the classroom. It was a most entertaining and educational session and I was able to come away feeling excited about using these products. I was impressed with the data about student attainment and engagement through these tools. Well worth going to.

I'm sure you'll hear of the success of the Ultranet in the future then perhaps the ultranet will spread its wings to Tasmania.
