KerryJ’s Neotenous Tech

Communications is my passion as is technology, so my current role as an Education Officer with education.au is one of those happy situations where my interests and skills are in use every day.

I started my professional life in broadcast journalism as a television news producer and reporter before moving into corporate video as a coordinator and later field producer and freelance script writer and copywriter.

I moved into multimedia in 2000, coordinating web site development projects for local and international clients, copywriting and consulting.

In 2005 I started work with education.au, supporting and training users of the newly re-built Flexible Learning Framework web site as I had done with many clients over the years. I also oversaw required technical updates and ran the web help desk.

Additionally, I was tasked with developing a podcast for the education network Australia (edna) web site. E-learning Insights is still in force and I produce various audio projects for colleagues within education.au using the studio I built up as a result of the podcasting project.

In May of 2007 I moved into the position of Education Officer, which divides my time between podcasting and now vodcasting and training users of edna Groups and Lists.

As of this writing (January 2008) I anticipate producing more regular editions of E-learning Insights, moving into video blogging, getting off my buts and making more public presentations and furthering my research into Second Life as a communications vehicle.

As a speaker, I have presentations available on the nuts and bolts of podcasting for beginners, optimising graphics for use on the web and basic HTML.

I am also available for voice over work (American accent) should you want your multimedia project, video or voiced presentation to effectively reach a North American market.

PS - What is Neoteny? For me, it’s about being willing to take risks when learning and experiencing the excitement and wonder a child feels when she is exposed to new tools and concepts.
