New years Resolutions and setting goals are uppermost in people’s minds at this time of year. The idea of a clean slate where we can start afresh is appealing.
To provide support in creating goals that will work, and in staying with those goals, I have created a set of web pages and a Pivot Box all related to Goals. Please visit.
Have just sent the latest edition of Pivotal Personal Best – the personal improvement ezine, with a list of articles added to the website.

Web Content: Knowing Whether It’s to Sell You or Inform You
OK!! My first blog photos. Just a reminder of the views we had last week on holidays. It’s always one of my prerequisites – the view. It inspires, relaxes and rejuvenates me.
Looking down the fairway of one of the holes at the Headlands golf club where we had lunch. My beloved husband knows how to spoil me. And he didn’t even have a game!!
We have been having a wonderful holiday on the Sunshine Coast in our home state Queensland. We have an apartment on the esplanade in Moolooaba. The view is fantastic and we are right above a street of restaurants and a hundred metres from the surf beach. I have really enjoyed the excellent walking tracks along the beachfront, and today we visited beautiful Kondalilla Falls in the hinterland, and the craft shops at Montville. Hard to return to reality in a couple of days, but I’m looking forward to putting on paper the goals and ideas for the year that have been formulating between the waves of the surf and the excellent restaurant meals we have been indulging in.
I have just created a new set of web pages and a blog designed for families. Being a successful parent and finding decent pages for children can be a challenge. I know. I’m a parent and I love playing games online and sharing them with my children. I love sharing books and libraries with them. I also am constantly aware of the need to keep them safe and to provide good quality in all their experiences. So I thought I might as well share the resources I was finding for my own children as well as those I come across in the research I do for teachers and library clients.
Please feel free to visit the web pagesand especially the ones for kids
Or the blog, Bronwyn’s Resources for families.
Here in Australia, outcomes-based assessment has taken a hold and is infiltrating quite successfully. We have yet to combine it with the competitiveness and rewards-based compensation system that seems to be in place already in America. Though I suspect those are on their way. I wish they weren’t, and this blog and its added comments simply reinforce that fear. Outcomes do not take into account inherent capabilities or societal influences, nor do they seem to me to rely on a holistic educational scheme.
“a healthy reminder that man is not primarily made to chase after his own creations. It’s not all about getting ahead, staying competitive, etc., etc. I’m not saying those are not worthwhile goals; just that they’re not the only ones, and perhaps not even the most important”
Students teaching teachers
Jill Goodman’s article Students teach PowerPoint set me thinking about the whole issue of “teaching.”
Blogs are slowly makng their way into the mainstream – evolving as they go. This report of a blog being used as criminal evidence is just another facetof that process.
I have just posted the latest Pivotal Personal bestto clients and to the website.
