Today my guest is Nick Johnstone, science teacher and education innovator.
Nick and I go WAY WAY BACK. This photo is from our last day of high school in 1987.
Anyway, these days Nick is Head of Science at St Lukes School in Bundaberg and he’s talking to me tonight about one of his favourite subjects: Information, Communication and Learning Technologies in Science Education. Nick is using Smartboards, mobile phones, wikis, podcasts and blogs in this classes and explains the educational benefits of using the latest technology in the classroom.
If you’re interested in learning more about the use of ICT in education, check out Nick’s site and TPN’s Education Transformation podcast.

My guest today, to talk Australian politics and new media, is Matt Marks. We discuss KEVIN07, what’s wrong with the Liberal Party, and why political parties in this country need to engage with new media.
Matt has recently written a chapter for the Crikey Guide to the 2007 Federal Election on the campaigning process and use of new media in the election campaign. Matt’s chapter is called ‘ My opponent suxs.com’ and explores new media and digital campaigning.
To quote a section: “The 2007 election campaign will see the beginning of this revolution… but any political party, journalist, commentator or activist group that fails to adequately develop a new media strategy is simply going to be left behind.â€
Matt’s background lie in financial and business markets. He is a former staffer to a senior Australian Senator, a past Federal President of the Australian Federal Young Liberal movements, a Merrill Lynch Investment Banker and Wall Street broker.
Matt is currently founder and managing director of political consultancy, Marks Strategies, and is the founder of the Rightthinker blog.

Another video from X | Media | Labs (yes, Caroline and Melissa, I’m getting there)… this one is with the gentleman I prefer to think of as Mr Suw – Kevin Anderson. Kevin is the Blog Editor at The Guardian in the UK. In this short video (my tape ran out at the end of a long day), Kevin gives his views on how MSM sites distinguish between a journalist’s blog and their articles.

One of the regular surprises at MODM is the people who turn up. I’m always meeting people who run companies I have heard of but never knew they were from Melbourne. Last night it was the guy from BugMeNot. I can’t tell you his name. And I can’t show you his face. All I can show you is this shot. He’s threatened me with physical pain if I show you any more. But he does have a very exciting new project coming out soon which G’Day World will have an exclusive on. Right, guys?? Right???! Don’t forget – I’ve got the goods to blackmail you now if I don’t get what I want.
Thanks to everyone who turned up last night. Lots of new people came for the first time and I think everyone had a great time. MODM 6 will be on October 4. Register here.

My guests today are the guys behind Australian Anthill magazine – Publisher and Editor-In-Chief James Tuckerman and Editor Paul Ryan. 
I chat with James about how he walked out of a well-paid job in PR to start the magazine when he was 26 (or was that 27? 28?), the early years, where they are today and the vision for the future. Paul chats about his different job interview and role in the company.
