A Teacher's Dilemma
As a new teacher I will be encountering many of these new dilemmas and I would like to share this with any new, experienced, former or aspiring teachers for some discussion and hopefully some laughs at the odd little job called teaching.

Justin Hardman is the High School Educational Technology Coordinator at Hong Kong International School (HKIS). He was born in New Zealand but raised in Hong Kong and educated in Australia.

Although his educational background is not in education (or technology), his professional passion is working with faculty and students in how to effectively implement technology for learning.

His major project is a learning platform developed at HKIS called myDragonNet which is designed for articulation of the curriculum, collaborating in classes and other groups and personal portfolios.

Paul McMahon, Hong Kong, k-12, 21st Century Learning

I am a teacher with 25 years as a classroom teacher, Technology for Learning Facilitator, Head of ICT, 1:1 laptop programme coordinator, IWB trainer, network consultant etc. I now work with schools in Hong Kong and the region to assist them to integrate ICT to allow for enhanced learning.

Unfortunately there is limited demand for this sort of work in Hong Kong at the moment due to schools being still very traditional and examination focused. I am more hopeful than most that a change is in the air!!

My Reflections on trying to get traditional schools in Hong Kong and the region to adapt their schools to include elements of 21st Century Skills. Sometimes a little of my other interest: Triathlon.
