A brilliant example of a 2007 NSW LearnScope poster ready for printing.
It arrived today from Steven Cutmore and team as a PDF document attached to an email.
Perfect for printing.
It clearly articulates the who, what, where, why and when for the project. It tells the journey and shows the clients to whom [...]

Guest speaker Sean Fitzgerald lead us into a connected / disconnected / connected discussion with others in SL……. but how frustrating and predictable were the connection settings.
Still not sure about the lectern bit though.
