I have worked at education.au since winning the position of EdNA Online’s Schools Information Officer in November 2000.
In 2006 I became the Communications Officer managing edna’s Collaborative Tools.
From the beginning of 2007 I will be Assistant Manager, edna, Professional Learning and Online Communities.
I currently write the Networker (an edna newsletter), and manage various places on edna Groups, edna Lists, and edna Sandpit Groups. I am passionate about online communities and their ability to connect people and assist them in their professional development or simply as a complement to their day to day life.

I am one of those lucky people whose work and hobbies mesh, and boundaries between them are blurred. In the course of my work I spend a lot of time each year travelling (which I love), giving presentations and leading hands-on workshops on a variety of topics such as making online communities work, getting the most out of RSS and so on.
I have occupied various positions in CEGSA, Computers In Education Group of SA, and won a number of awards both state and national for my work with teachers in ICT.
In my ’spare’ time I review crime and mystery novels for Random House Australia and run an online murder mystery discussion group called oz_mystery_readers. My reviews are published at http://www.reviewers-choice.com/kerrie_smith.htm
