Knowledge as a Concept

Every Thursday mid-morning, I head over to my parents for a bit of conversation and coffee.  It’s something I look forward to every week because it’s a good opportunity to find out what they’ve been doing to pass their time.  Long retired now, their time is spent pottering about in the garden, reading books, watching […]

Don’t Kill Off Delve

It’s Friday morning at 11:29 am and I’m still in bed rubbing the sleep in my eyes and brushing off the crumbs of the toast I had this morning. Since 7:30 am, I’ve been doing Lynda.com courses on tips and tricks of Windows 10, On Demand File Synching and other things that take my fancy […]

What’s the difference between building a network and building an audience? That’s a good question and I’m glad that a tweet this morning triggered me to write this post. Last weekend I attended VidCon, one of the biggest video conferences in Melbourne and let’s just say, I was underwhelmed. You can see my thoughts in […]

Deleting Social Media

Recently I’ve noticed some people from my personal learning network deciding to delete their Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook accounts or getting off social media entirely. In truth, I’ve had the same questions floating around in my mind with Facebook and LinkedIn because I’m not getting any real value from them.  Meanwhile, others question why I’m […]
