Working Through My Process of A Presentation

My Learning Process

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been mulling over what I’m going to talk about at LearnTec2020 which will be hosted in Karlsruhe in Germany next year on 28-30 January. I was kindly invited to speak at this conference by Jane Hart whose work I have followed, shared and respected for many years now.  […]

Bits and Bobs of Different Projects I’m Working On

It feels as if it’s been ages since I last wrote in my blog. Every time I come into it, the same thing happens. I apologise for the delays between posting.  Then I say how it’s always been at the back of my mind.  Well, it has.  I thought I’d quickly jot down some things […]

What I’m Doing to Prepare for Microsoft Ignite

It’s been a while since the last post and I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t worry about writing on my blog. I always do. I have it at the back of my mind that whatever it is that I’m learning, I should be writing about my reflections. What happens usually is that […]

Lessons in Social Media Life

Recently, someone asked on Twitter whether there was any real value in keeping their LinkedIn profile and it started a conversation.  You can read the threaded conversation here. A few people weighed into the conversation and who provided their own recommendations of what to do based on their own experiences of the social media platform. […]

Submitting for Community Reporter at Microsoft Ignite

It’s been a while since my last post and in all honesty, I’m not going to lie about it. I simply haven’t made any time to sit down and pull together some thoughts about my work or learning to blog about it. I’ve been too wrapped up in my own personal life and focused on […]

Humans Connected But Alone

via GIPHY Recently I’ve been watching a series on ABCiView called Humans. It’s a show created in the UK about a recent future where robots (they call them ‘synths’) are used for various manual labour situations in the home or work.  Seeing these situations played out on the television screen makes me mind race with […]

Image versus Substance

Last week Sukhinder Pabial (@sukhpabial) shared an observation on Twitter which has been one that I have often thought about.   Make sure you go into the tweet and read the thread because it proposes alternative views around our different ways of how we present ourselves online. It got me thinking that I had similar questions […]

Learn a New Skill by Learning An Endangered Craft with New & Modern Twist

Some years ago, I was surfing through my Facebook feed and Ann McCrossen @annemcx who writes about the emergent organisation shared a PDF called The Radcliffe Red List of Endangered Crafts. Ann is also a wonderful ceramic artist when she’s not writing about organisations and in her website, she shares that part of herself, the […]

Doing A Booktube

I’ve written a lot in recent times about getting some of my time back to get my headspace out of thinking and talking about work all the time (at times it felt I was thinking about learning and development 24/7 and my mind had to take a break). The way I’ve been doing this is […]
