peregrinatio curiosa johannae in eruditionem

In the absence of a current photo and sporting a new “do” I have updated my avatar. The avatar builder I have used does not have a suitable eye, hair or lipstick colour pallette. But let’s not get hung up on it, it is only an avatar after all!

Thank you to my friend “Noetica” for helping me come up with a suitable Latin title for this blog.

Peregrinatio curiosa Johannae in eruditionem
Here is an edited explaination of the choice of Latin from him.

The title “literally it translates as “A curious pilgrimage of Jane’s, in education”.
Word by word:
Peregrinatio shows the avid and personal nature of the quest.
Curiosa doesn’t mean “funny” or “odd”, as “curious in English” might. It simply means “wanting to discover”.
Johannae – Johanna is the better form for “Jane”. You can’t say “for Jane” you have to make it “of Jane['s]“, whence we get “Johannae”.
Eruditionem – “Eruditio” is the process of becoming enlightened. Higher education”

Everyone loves the banner on this blog. The image comes as one of the proforma blog designs that are part of the edublogs.org software. I wanted an image that suggested a journey. Jane

I have make a likeness of myself, let’s hope I have worked out how to upload it.

Yabba dabba do, it worked!

From never having had a blog in my life, this week I started three! The 1st was part of the Swinburne Library’s 23 things project ie 23 tasks that we need to complete to become familiar with Web 2.0 technology. The 2nd is this Education Blog as part of the subject LTS 502 Teaching & Learning Methods and Media and the 3rd is as a communication experiment for the senior staff of Wantirna and Croydon libraries.
