 * [[image:matthewberry.jpg]] || Hi! My name is Matthew Berry. I am a student at Flinders University studying a bachelor of Education Junior Primary/Primary and a bachelor of Science Biology/Computing.

I grew up in a family butcher business in which I worked for my adolescent years. After high school I began work in a small Internet company and within the year became manager.

After a while I began to get itchy feet and decided to travel. I got a job teaching in Japan and lived their for 2 years. I spent a lot of my time and money traveling. My experiences in travel have definitely shaped the person that I am today.

After I returned from Japan I received a job in property management which stressed me to all ends and led me to University to become a Junior Primary Teacher ||    I think that you are a reflection on the company that you keep. So I think for you to know more about me, you can look at my friends and how we interact.   **+++All images that I have used on this page have either been made by me or are royalty free from free digital photos +++**  **.**   The purpose of this site is to share my experiences and processes of EDET2305 Multimedia Literacy at the Flinders University in Adelaide South Australia.  This topic aims to look at multimedia through the eyes of society and how it enriches out lives. It looks at issues in using these tools within education and how they effect students, educators and parents. At the conclusion of the course, I will be able to use basic multimedia software and hardware to create presentations and to use within a classroom setting. I will experiment, analyse and experience many web2.0 tools and become proficient in using them.  This assignment is for students to become engaged and proficient in web2.0 tools. Students will reflect on their use and issues that arise for social and learning purposes. ||
