While there, I spoke with teachers, teacher librarians and school administrators who were full of spirit and enthusiasm about the new possibilities coming to schools with networked information. They were also vocal in their commitment to information literacy and robust professional development. Like many in North America, they have become wary of politicians and others who push hardware without clear purpose or a focus upon learning. I was repeatedly impressed by the "forward lean" with which the Australians have greeted the challenges of the Information Age. The photographs above were snapped in between speeches and workshops in those rare moments when I might step off the tour and gaze about. They are a somewhat random sample of life in Australia as seen through a visitor's eyes. I hope that they will provide students in other lands with free photos that might be useful as they study about OZ.
