This is the first listing of mine on a blog. My role is principal of Whangaparaoa College a large secondary school in Auckland, New Zealand.

The school is new only been open two years and has had a number of difficulties getting underway due to hassles with project managers architects and planners and not least the Ministry of Education in New Zealand. But we do have many wonderful buldings which I will post pictures of in a few days time.

The school has been built with learning at the fore front and this is the continued challenge as we move on. The challenge of keeping learning the key while surrounded by the so many other demands. Even more the challenge is about what does learning mean in our Web 2.0 world and as a school leader what does this mean? While the excitement of working in a web enabled way the management of that around risks of internet safety are huge and I would be interested in how that works.

If Web 2.0 is the future what does that mean about our schools and the way learning occurs?
