Australia, July 2012
19th Annual International Boys’ School Coalition Conference, Melbourne
at Scotch College, unearthing creativity with digital tools
is the mantra of the 21st century
NY to LA=6 hours—then, 15 more
I arrive having lost two days
in winter 60 degrees and sunny
skybus to Hotel Renaissance
meeting and greeting of incoming
action research team and straight
to pre-conference workshops 8 to 5
intellectual stimulation to evening
hair-downs, exchanging ideas
with a global flair—speakers that
sharpen my brain-cells, to a seven course
dinner Scottish style with bagpipers
at the mecca of cricket the
Melbourne Cricket Ground;
New friends, writing, making thinking visible
Presenting my workshop with a ‘PD’ spin—gaining
a certificate of contribution
Grayline tours to the penguin parade
where the Bass Strait and Southern Ocean meet
koalas, wallabies, the Great Ocean Road
dramatic, dangerous, majestic Twelve Apostles
250 kilometers of the world’s most scenic route
and I returned home on the same day
full of stunning experiences to carry me through.
That was another excellent post today. Thanks so much for sharing. Keep up the fantastic job.
