Dear All,
I will be finishing my degree later on this year and the time is coming to look towards leaving my part-time primary school tech job and heading off into the big world of real work.
All along I have been intending to continue with the educational tech route, but tutors at Uni seem to be very keen to discourage me from this, citing higher salaries and better prospects in commercial sectors. My heart is really still in educational IT though.
I was hoping some of you good people might be able to offer some suggestions about the best way into get into educational IT, and some ideas about the potential for career development. I'm guessing there would be more, and better, openings in secondary or further education, and that there would presumably be potential to progress from school-based posts towards more supervisory roles with the LEA/LA as experience grows?
Any advice, suggestions or tips anyone could provide would be very much appreciated, either here, by PM or e-mail via my profile.
Thanks to all

News Feature, Taisa Grant
The Coronado YMCA was at the center of this city's ongoing community-building efforts when it hosted a resource fair on June 30th to bring tangible and basic resources to community members.
Edward Hamilton, a Richmond resident who lives on the corner of Ohio Street, two blocks away from the YMCA, heard about the event from a co-worker. He said the "diaper-drive" and resource fair are just what the community needs. He believes events such as these create opportunities for the community to come together and talk, which can then prevent fighting and ultimately, end violence. It's a reminder, said Hamilton, that "without each other we're not going to make it." It's a lesson he said he hopes will be learned by his young son and unborn child — that the community itself can end violence.
Mended Families Incorporated (MFI) set a goal of giving out between 5,000 to10,000 diapers and informing the public of various resources available to them and their children.The event kicked off at 10am, and before the doors even opened there was a line of people patiently waiting.
City Council candidate Marilyn Langlois, a board member of MFI since its inception, observed the interactions among mothers, seeing their appreciation for receiving concrete assistance, information and resources.
Nadiri Jumoke, a substance abuse specialist, said she was there because that's where mothers would be, and some may benefit from the services she offers.
Jamie White, the secretary of MFI, has a personal investment in the work that her organization does. Like so many, she has lost family to the streets of Richmond, and in her opinion providing basic needs — like diapers, formula, wipes and clothing — is crucial in preventing further loss of life. If one is without these goods, she said, their lives can be negatively impacted. White added that she is hoping the event and the efforts of the organization will create a chain reaction of people sharing resources and supporting each other.
Candy Anderson, from the organization Brighter Beginnings, said scheduling the diaper giveaway for the end of the month was a wonderful idea, because many families must decide between buying food or buying diapers.
Mayor Gayle McLaughlin was present at the event to show her continued support to MFI. As an honorary board member, she said the organizational goals are in line with those of the City of Richmond: to promote and create a healthy Richmond where our families can prosper and rise above violence, poverty and injustice. The Mayor stressed the importance of community-building, which she defined as human beings relating to one another in a fair and equal way, remembering that we are more alike than different.
"Community" is the key word used in many conversations taking place in and around the Coronado YMCA. There appeared to be a nostalgic feeling of joy among residents on that warm sunny Saturday, and MFI was the main purpose for the gathering on that day. Now, however, there is a call for more. Who will answer the call? I humbly guarantee that MFI and Richmond's Mayor will. How about you?

Chicago-based photographer Katie Driscoll is a mom to six children. Every back-to-school season, she and her kids see ads showing groups of children donning the latest trends in backpacks and clothing. Often, the groups are relatively diverse in terms of race and gender, but rarely, Driscoll noticed, are they inclusive of children with disabilities. She has been particularly aware of this because her four-year-old daughter, Grace, has Down syndrome. "I am a Mom first and foremost," says Driscoll. "I worry about my kids, all of them, and the thought of any of them being excluded breaks my heart, so whatever I have to do to stimulate the change needed for my daughter to feel equal to the rest of the world, I will do and, for me, that challenge is with the media."
So Driscoll decided to create a new back-to-school campaign, one that is inclusive of all children. She held a casting call and picked a handful of kids to partake in a photoshoot at a local Chicago bookstore. The kids represent a range of backgrounds and disabilities (she opted not to feature Grace in this campaign, though Grace has starred in many of Driscoll's shoots, in order to give another child an opportunity to participate). As Driscoll explains, "All kids of all abilities are heading back to school this week and over the next month. They deserve to feel represented. They deserve to open a magazine and feel included. I want that for all of them."
The result is an adorable set of images, no different than what you might be used to seeing in other back-to-school campaigns. But these photos offer children with disabilities the opportunity to finally see people on the page who are like them.

What Size Dog Carrier is Right for Your Dog?
Most soft-sided carriers are designed for you to carry your dog, so they are for smaller dogs. These guidelines are for soft-sided carriers and hard-sided kennels used to transport your dog weighing up to 25 pounds (see specific carrier for weight capacity). Different guidelines should be used for Crates and Kennels for home use and for dogs that are larger.
Carriers allow you to take your dog with you to places they normally wouldn't get to go. And they can make vet visits much easier to maneuver. There are several different varieties of small-dog carriers – ones that have a shoulder strap or handles, purses, backpacks, front-packs, rolling carriers with telescoping handles (some of these can hold dogs up to 30 pounds), bike baskets, hard-side, soft-side, etc. Sizing will be similar for all types, so do these basic things first.
As a general guideline, your dog should be able to stand comfortably in the carrier, turn around easily inside, and lie down without difficulty. But don't get it too big either.
As always, the most important part of getting the right size carrier is MEASURE YOUR DOG!
1. Backbone Length – measure from the neck where the collar rests to the base of the tail. Add 2-3 inches to determine the carrier's long measurement.
2. Shoulder Height – measure from the ground to the top of shoulders. To determine carrier height for
a. Purses: For toy and very small dogs. Add an inch or so to dog's shoulder height.
b. All other soft-sided carriers: Add 2-3 inches to shoulder height.
c. Hard sided carriers: Add 3-5 inches to shoulder height. It's better with hard-sided carriers if the dog can stand comfortably with head up.
If the measurements are borderline between sizes, choose the bigger size.
Weight should be used as a guideline only -- it will not give an accurate length or height. However, never exceed the weight capacity of the carrier.
For Slings and Front-packs, make sure your dog has plenty of space and won't fall out, but they're designed to be cozy. These are typically not designed to provide support and your dog will be supported against your body.
For rollies that roll at an angle on 2 wheels (rather than flat on 4 wheels), make sure your dog has enough space for comfort while being rolled.
If you're planning to take the carrier in the cabin on an airplane, please see these guidelines for Dogs on Planes.

it's a shame you don't do much drawing anymore since the first wip guy has some potential. The area around the head and shoulder looks the biz.

Thanks David!
Also Thanks fireblade, yeah I dunno, I don't get as much enjoyment out of it as I used to, still do it from time to time but I've been trying to learn programming to make games and music a lot more lately. I like to still keep the skill from getting too rusty though.

CHV166: Thanks dawg
Charles Ratteray: Thanks, you've got some great work as well!
IsaacEs: Thanks Isaac, hope I can deliver
So this is something a little different, I've always had issues with patience in my artwork, unlike programming or making music it's very difficult for me to get sucked into a painting or drawing these days, I get a lot of anxiety for some reason. So as a result I've always been pretty terrible at drawing in perspective which clashes with my desire to always improve my fundamental.s ( I guess you could argue that patience is the most fundamental skill of all )So I tried to do a study of a SINGLE BUILDING instead of going crazy like I used to and telling myself I'd do everything in a picture. And I realized a few things part way through doing this:
I realized if trying to be accurate as possible in perspective IT CAN TAKE FREAKING FOREVER and very often is not accurate after all the effort, or at least with my lack of understanding some underlying principles into calculating measurements stretched out in perspective.
So I decided to try a new experiment, do an orthographic drawing and try to project it into perspective afterwards. So here's the beginning of this:
This took hours, I didn't expect it to take this long and I'm sure if I had duplicated more I could have found ways to speed up the process, but I wanted to make sure everything was measured and done by hand so I understood exactly what was going on with every piece.
Up next, made a perspective grid with two points 90 degrees apart, cropped the orthogonal image and transformed it by lining it up with perspective lines. Behind and in front to understand it as a 3d object instead of a billboard-like representation:
Then this is where I stopped because.... I don't feel like drawing all day and night
So basically it's just a wedge-like projection of the silhouette:
So yeah my finger hurts too for some reason, probably from smashing keys all day, so ima take a break on this for now, but i thought it was an interesting way to explore far out of my comfort zone trying to be as technical as possible.

Wow! Your improvement from your first sketchbook is certainly amazing! Regarding patience, I too wish I possessed more of it, especially for perspective!
Also, what do you use for your perspective drawing? Is it mostly traditional or digital, or a mixture? Thanks!
May 24th, 2014 #19
Hey Minella thank you
Thanks R-K!
Thanks dragning, it's certainly been longer than it feels, I almost never draw traditionally anymore, im a super nerd and I love technology, can do so much shit with it I love it.
I am working on my own game currently so I actually do have some work building up, I'll be sure to post it all here when we're done!
But for now, felt like randomly doing a portrait tonight

Oh HI!! Great work man, keep on progressing!
June 17th, 2014 #21
Oh dang, whats crackin seth, didn't know you still were around this site .
Did a commission, I don't do many of these, but they are always challenging and I learn a lot from them when I do do them.
This is a piece for an unreleased book though the art is not made to be put in the book or sold, just an image the author wanted as a poster for one of the intense moments in the novel .
Thought it might be a fun thing to post a little bit of the process since I actually have some saved.
The two grayscales are sketches, I personally still like the more cinematic quality of the first one but the author felt as though it was a bit too massive for the creature and I also felt like it didn't have the right space for having a lot of chaos going on in a single image.
I ended up doing a few other sketches but not being satisfied with any of the results I was getting so I decided to try something i'd never done which was just sort of do a real crappy photoshop of random internet images together like a collage, and that was the sketch he ended up really liking so I went with that. The kraken is just images of octopi photobashed together in an interesting assortment, the author was clear that it needed to look alien and not like it was just some giant octopus monster from earth but it also should feel grounded so I felt manipulating images would help give a somewhat grounded and distorted sense of reality.
After that I painted over the b&w sketch until I felt like it needed to transition to color. Often I feel like painting in black and white is a real test of your fundamental abilities with creating proper form and design in a painting so it's important for me to know the painting could stand on its own even without color. At the same time, if you intend the finished result of a piece to be in color, it's important to add color after you feel like the major components are in place in black and white but not completely rendered. If you fully render an image in black and white and try to just add color with a layer and some photoshop tricks, I'm sure you could do it and create an interesting style doing so, but it has this odd sort of washy effect that I personally feel damages the sense of form in the painting and therefore less believable, which means after you add a color layer, to get the full potential of a piece you will need to repaint over the color layer with pure bitmap(normal layer) to make it really pop.
Basically saying, if you plan on a colored result, start with black and white to simplify the process, but add color early on so you can get an idea for the end result.
I also got to say though, it's extremely important in any creative endeavor to maintain a fluid process
Even though you may plan and plan and plan, there are moments in creating something where you will have to make significant decisions and you have to be willing to destroy your previous plan and build a new one or take a completely unexpected path for sake of experimentation, I find when I'm deep in the work of a song or painting that these things ALWAYS come in any prolonged endeavor and you have to make a choice, and it's not just a go one way and you can reload your old save and continue if you screw up. You have emotional momentum while you're working and you have to feed that momentum to get your best work from yourself, if you take a risky path in your work and it doesn't pan out, it costs you energy and often a lot of time. Usually by the end of it, whether you have a good or bad result you will feel somewhat drained, especially if the risk doesn't pay off, you either quit and do something else or you go back to an earlier save but even if you go back your momentum will be out of whack, you won't be in the same emotional or mental headspace and it can often cost you some potentially good work if you hadn't taken the risk.
But if you have the option I would urge anyone learning to really go for those risks if you aren't on a strict schedule, if you work hard you will receive art that will amaze yourself that you often won't be able to replicate.
There's something to be said about the act of discovery in art. It's not enough to just work hard at the same thing over and over, at some point you build a tolerance like with anything, it's almost always best the first few times. Then your enthusiasm will not come with the same intensity after you've experienced something for the first time. It's a personal philosophy of mine to always be trying new things and learning new things because the best work I feel I've done in anything is when I first discover it through hard work and experimentation. But when you find one of those really cool things while experimenting you MUST have the discipline to follow through on it and FINISH that work. This is something I've often regretted when I look back at old stuff, more-so with music than with painting for myself.
Your art will be 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration, that's a Thomas Edison quote and I really believe it. It's something that went in my ears on numerous occasions but never seemed to truly sink in until a few days ago.
Anyways, that turned from explaining a WIP to some theory about things I've been thinking about for the past year or so haha. Anyways, I hope someone likes the art, I'm going to go get back to work

ey it's Kvick
the work you put into studying fundamentals, like the perspective experiment is impressive. you achieve the cinematic, look really nicely in this last piece, it's a style i want for my own work.
i'm interested in seeing what kind of game you're working on, keep on perspiring
June 20th, 2014 #23
Woah that portrait you most recently did looks awesome, love the warm under lit effect on her top and the hair is nicely done! I think you would have benefited if you added some motion blur to the characters running in the above piece or blurred their edges but a otherwise really cool piece.

The kraken is really cool! By the way, I appreciate your explanation of not only your opinion on coloring, but also on experimentation and perseverance in art. There is definitely some wisdom there!

Thanks kan! good to see you're still around, I really like the new work on your devart, I might do a piece with some of those crazy textures you have posted in your SB as well
Thanks Jack, yeah I'm not totally satisfied with how that piece turned out, part of it was the constraint of needing to have lots of chaos going on which is generally the opposite of what I try to achieve with most of my personal art, I tend to favor one main thing going on in any piece so it was good practice. As for the motion blur suggestion, I didn't try it but I almost always do try some form of blur when creating a final piece at some point, I just felt like it wouldn't have fit with how the rest of it was falling in place, I much would have rather emphasized some more impressionistic elements and economic brush strokes, but I'm just not that fucking talented!
thanks helojoshin!
thanks holdolart, yeah maybe they're not so sketchy... in the years developing my talents my primary form of practice was real quick 5 10 and 20 minute figure drawings 90% of the time, as a result I got a lot of practice NOT FINISHING ANYTHING. Which is a terrible terrible habit, so I guess I strive to put a bit more work into any piece I start these days, still not perfect but I think I'm getting better at it.
Thanks fefe!
Thanks dragning, I'm glad you could find it helpful or insightful, often I feel like I'm just writing that kind of stuff for myself to get it out of my head to free up space for more crap to fill it!
I was being a slacking son of a bitch today and was watching a tournament on twitch instead of working, so I somehow got myself to stop and make a sketch. I really don't paint nearly as much as I used to, pretty much everything in this book is like all I've been doing it's kind of depressing, so it's nice to have something to put up once in awhile. I've been taking a class for hardsurface modelling in maya so that's been interesting, but I haven't had time to devote to freekin practicing other than the homework! D: I've been helping out some friends at the Unity SF office move to a new building so that's been keeping me busy on a nearly fulltime schedule but that's almost done so maybe I can get myself to do some more art, I might start posting some concepts for the game I'm working on in here.
Anyways, here's the sketch, it's a maybe-WIP, I have this weird love/hate relationship with mechanical things, on one hand I love how they look, but on the other I hate the process of creating technical things. So I'm this weird messy gray area where I try to make things look technical but I'm just painting impressions of it.

Wow! What you call a mere 'sketch' is something I could only hope to do one day! I really like front view of the suit in your last post! Just wondering, are these supposed to be of the same design?

Crappy day. Not going to make it to 10k today.
- Activity: Walking
- Distance: 1.44 mi
- Duration: 00:27:27
Crappy day. Not going to make it to 10k today.
10k achieved despite slowing down efforts of old dog.
10k is a struggle today.
Short run – got an 11am appt and got out too late. Dang.
I hate my brain sometimes.
I can go months feeling guilty and in a rut, sure that I SHOULD start exercising and knowing that I COULD start exercising and just … not doing it.
But then Jim reminded me that two summers ago he was doing a 10k step a day challenge at work, and how it made him feel that summer, and I thought, well, hell, there's proof right there that it's possible. So I started doing it. I'd already been running for two weeks so I was getting around 5-7k steps a day, so if I run in the morning, do my normal movement throughout the day, and then do a walk at night, there's my 10k. *
And holy shit, it worked.
I've been running two days on, and one day rest, so I'm a little worried about how I'm going to manage the 10k steps on a rest day,** but I have discovered some things:
* I work from home, so things like "just park further away from work and take the stairs!" pieces of advice don't work that well for me. Although I am parking further away when I do errands.
** I started this post this morning, and finished it tonight, so I can say that rest days are hard, but doable.
I was just thinking today and realizing that some things people know how to do and I have no idea where to start.
1) Buying drugs. I mean, I am pretty sure I know people who know people.* But if I really wanted to get down and dirty with some illegal substances, I wouldn't have the foggiest idea where to look, and I'd probably be stupid enough to put it on Facebook- HEY, ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN SCORE SOME POT? And then the Durham Police Department will debate whether they want to highly publicize the entrapment of a 40 year old suburban mom who just wants to get high. **
2) Lawyering up. I read the internets, I know that if a police officer wants to talk to you, it's really best to have a lawyer present. Even if you're not under arrest. The only problem is how do you find a defense attorney? I mean, on television (and everyone knows that is real) people always talk about their lawyer like their dentist, or even a close friend. Someone whose number they have on hand, and the lawyer is just waiting at the starting line for the gun to go off so they can run to rescue you, briefcase in hand. Only, the only lawyers I've worked with have been real estate and estate lawyers. We bought a house and made wills. I don't think my last will and testament lawyer is going to come running if I get arrested. I interviewed some IP lawyers but I don't think they count either. ***
3) Baking bread. Although I am aware this is something that can be learned, with practice.
*I do not want drugs. This is hypothetical.
**I am aware that this is how the television show Breaking Bad starts out.
***Still hypothetical. I do not need a lawyer.
I was on the amazingly fun (and Hugo-nominated) podcast Tea and Jeopardy by Emma Newman!
And the Manly Wade Wellman Award nominations honoring NC sff writers were just announced and The Shambling Guide to New York City was nominated! The award will be given out in the middle of July at ConGregate in Winston Salem!
