Education in the Northern Territory

3 July

In this episode of Courageous Dialogues, Mark Christie, an education technology specialist based in the Northern Territory talks about his role after a flight over Darwin in his Ultralight plane.

We touch on a number of topics related to the delivery and support levels to schools across remote and urban NT including:

Satellite, clouds and internet
Impact of COVID and the increasing capacities of teachers with technologies
Considerations for schools when it comes to security
Education offerings to students in remote parts of the NT.

In between flying with Mark and our podcast I had a crash course on Adobe Audition and learned the differences between podcast and vodcast.

While Mark is busy putting together the video footage from our flight so I can turn our podcast into a vodcast I thought I’d share with you what we spoke about over the course of the morning. This episode will be updated with the fabulous footage taken over Darwin and I will be sure to share this out to the different social media streams!

NOTE: I'm going to apologise in advance and let you all know that I may always refer to my posts as ‘podcast’, even if they are officially ‘vodcasts’ - just get used to it but know the difference:-)
