Hi! I'm Neville
Barry Goodwin, Senior Lecturer in the School of
Development and Learning, in the Faculty of Education and Social Work
at the University of Sydney, Australia.
I teach Information Technology courses involving computer literacy, web site development, aspects of programs dealing with presentation, video editing and classroom uses of audiovisual technology. I enjoy teaching the development of low cost resources, particularly paper aids. I stress the need for classroom teaching techniques and preparation strategies.
Courses I'm involved in this year include EDBT 5501 MTeach Information Technology in Education or MITE, EDUP 4067 Information Technology in the Primary Classroom B and EDUF 1019 Introduction to Computers in Education which is part of the Education 1 unit of study.
My research interests include:
I am currently developing proposals to allow the conversion of VHS recorded free to air television collected in 1990 and 91 to digital data and then to DVD. This will allow comparative research of the way content and programming have altered over a 15 year period in Sydney.
I was a primary and demonstration teacher for 10 years before commencing my first overseas assignment. Since then I've been fortunate in living and working in many overseas countries including:
I had two fascinating years as the Director of Audio Visual Services in Westmead Centre which is a large Sydney teaching hospital complex for medical, dental, nursing and paramedical staff.
My passion for cinema or movies is reflected in the following net links:
My wife, Myrna is passionate about pottery, and is constantly designing, making, decorating , glazing and firing all types of ceramics. Recently she has moved from Chinese brushwork to abstract painting, as well as wood and lino block printing.
