Hi, I’m Kate Zarb; educator, creator, and all-round nerd.

Work
I work where technology and education intersect, currently as an Associate Teaching Fellow in the Department of Communications & Creative Arts at Deakin University.

I built and run teachenglishonline.com.au, a site dedicated to supporting and providing educational content for TESOL teachers to pivot online. It ranks #1 on Google (Australasia).

Qualifications
Master of Education (Digital Futures and Innovative Practices) (Research) – in progress, University of Melbourne,
Postgraduate Certificate of Education, UniSQ,
Bachelor of Arts (Education & Digital Media), Deakin.

Passion Projects
I create in a few guises, with my most recent digital media project “Kae Zars From Mars” premiering at the 2024 New Zealand, Melbourne and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals.

The projects explored Artificial Intelligence (AI), colonisation, Guy Debord’s ‘The Society of The Spectacle‘ theory and the potential of Creative Commons media. Read more here.

I have worked extensively with the reclamation of digitised illustrations in the Public Domain via collage, specifically focusing on materials of Māori imagery.

I also do a bit of comedy and poetry, coming runner-up in The 2024 Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-Tara) Raw Poetry Slam.

Ko Maungatautari te maunga.
Ko Tainui te waka.
Ko Waikato te awa/moana.
Ko Ngāti Raukawa te iwi.
