To Do
At the induction workshop last week Frances Howes asked each of us to make a 'to-do' list about our FLL project. This was influenced by some of the tips from past FLL's about how to manage our projects. I've decided to put mine here to act as a reminder.
1. Plan a workshop for Networking 2004 (by submission deadline)
2. Regularly feed out information to the broad TAFE Tasmania community - share the learning (at least one thing each month)
3. Make a commitment to regular reviews of my plan and assess progress (each month with mentor/s)
4. Reusable Reporting Objects - make the snippets, reflections, briefing papers, presentations work more than once (ongoing)
5. Keep a grip on reality - I'm sure my family and colleagues will help with this one (ongoing)
6. Read Strategy Papers etc as they emerge and ensure project is aligned / re-aligned as necessary - this came out of the latest Leadership Development Workshop (ongoing)
As you can see it's mainly about building myself a process for managing my project.
I wrote this in Word ToGo on my Palm to see if the formatting would carry over, but it doesn't. It is still relatively easy to do the formatting in mo:blog using the built in html tags. It's rare I buy software for my Palm (there's so much good free stuff) but mo:blog I just had to. It means I can write a post on my Palm m505, attach a photo that I've taken using a digital camera and then resized on my Palm, then use my mobile phone to upload it. Pretty easy considering what it can do.
The picture that is attached was from the flight from Melbourne to Perth.

Abstract
When the Danish Government took office in November 2001 it transferred the adult vocational training system to the Ministry of Education. The aim was to create a dynamic interaction between initial vocational education and training and adult vocational training programmes. Intensive efforts have since been made to create a framework that ensures that future education and training becomes so targeted and flexible that they will be able to handle the very different needs of enterprises and employees for competence development.
This booklet which contains a translation of the original Danish edition published November 2003 provides more detailed information about the new flexible adult vocational training concept and the increased interaction between initial vocational education and training and adult vocational training efforts. It also describes how the changed financial governance and the new institutional structure support the adult vocational training concept.
