It is now only a couple of weeks before students return for the start of new academic year. That is when things get really busy. Although I intend to keep this blog going throughout the semester, there is probably no better time for reflection than this period – the calm before the storm. Not that summer has seemed all that calm. Here are some of the things I have been working on since the beginning of the year: selection officer for the BArts/B Teach combined degree; co-ordination of week zero for the School of Education; preparation of unit guides; meetings, meetings, meetings; creation of my drama space on Deakin University Island in Second Life as part of a major project (more on that later; preparation for a keynote speech I’ll give for Drama Tasmania in April; year planning with Drama Victoria; preparation of reports for the Drama Australia executive; teaching a module in a Teacher Refresher course; phasing out vineblogs for the Drama Australia VINE project.. and so on.
Most of these activities plus several more will continue throughout the semester so I often wonder at this time of year how I will fit in the teaching. However, I usually find that with the reappearance of students on campus comes a real surge of energy and I remember again what the main game is!
