Peace Education - Brisbane

g'day you people,
I've just heard from our friend in UQ's Teaching and Educational Development Institute (TEDI), Greta.
She has uploaded a program to EDUC2040's Blackboard area that allows us to talk and see each other thru the uni website.

Can you please let me know if you still have access to EDUC2040's Blackboard?

If you people have access, and you have headphones with microphone (like Tenielle can get from Hardly Normals) lets meet up online.
Let me know and I will set it up.
Greta is keen to support this for us.

Hope your uni work is doing well. I've got a lecture to deliver at the Carseldine campus of QUT tomorrow (Yikes)

Hey everyone,

In the last couple of weeks, I've been trying hard to concentrate on my uni stuff, and supress all those thoughts of Captain Planet that pop into my head. Alas, I have so far been unsuccessful and have been singing the theme song, on repeat, endlessly, much to my sister's distress. In any case, I thought it might be worth trying to post a few links, videos, etc in my maiden post....I hope this works.

Legendary. I can't beleive this was made between 1990 and 1995, and yet seems so much more relevent today, than in the early ninties...its totally absurd that this is not being shown as re-runs! grrh...here is the official site...

Also, I came across this brilliant site called EngageMedia during peaceEd, and as a media studies and education student, I think its worth sharing. It is basically about democratic use of media in Australasia. There are lots decent videos posted there under a lot of different categories...
