Life Holds Special Magic To Those Who Dare To Dream ...

Daydreaming about island-hoping in my beloved Philippines - the dilema is there are 7,107 islands to choose from (plus or minus depending on low or high tides)!

London a city of two tales!

This was definitely one of my most memorable volunteering!

What my six year old reading partner taught me was that London is truly a city of two tales and our schools (comprehensives vs independent schools) represents each end of the spectrum!

Enormous disparity!

Don't Gain The World & Lose Your Soul-Wisdom Is Better Than Slave & Gold

Please continue to help the less fortunate especially in this era of austerity!

Twittering is personalised e-learning !!!

In case you were wondering where I was last week - I have decided to do a week on week off of blogging. So this week I finally succumbed to twittering which I found very liberating. We are not only in the age of mobile e-learning, twitter allows us to personalised how, what, when and where we learn too (still trying to figure out what this means for traditional academia)!

So I am currently following a number of tweets which covers everything from travelling to comedy. I particularly enjoy the nature articles and photos from National Geographic, the 'Big Society' agenda by the coalition, the infamous Mr Stephen Fry, and keeping loyal to my HR roots the CIPD and yes the Jigga (Jay-Z) is twittering too!

Warning to some of you parents out there, my little boy who is three years and 2 months is self taught in the use of iphone and all the applications so be careful what you install and always use in moderation! So twitter away!
