Previously from Victor Harbour School in SA, and now Principal at Kadina Primary School in SA, Mark Sparvell's work has involved connecting six schools over 5000km across three states in Australia so that they can "think out loud together". Mark facilitates via a live video feed, they brainstorm on a virtual whiteboard, ask questions by webcam and debate topics such as the meaning of a fair go.

Working in a district capacity, Mark invited students across different age groups and school systems to explore values and environmental projects in a virtual community of up to 30 sites. "Great learning is about thinking out loud together," Mark says. "With technology we can harness the wisdom of many voices and express it."

In his quest to explore the possibilities of technology in education, Mark is willing to "fail early and fail often". And he's risen to some tricky technical challenges, like leading a lesson that connected students and teachers on boats near Kangaroo Island via a video link-up to experts on the mainland. Students at more than 20 remote locations joined in, asking questions about dolphins and whales that were answered on the spot.

Mark says. "Whether it's on the back of a boat or in a remote community, my classroom is wherever my laptop is."
