This Week’s Snap Stories of Personal Learning Week of 3 April 2017

So Snapchat is proving to be a handy tool to capture my thoughts and reflections while I’m back at work full-time and don’t have time to blog. However, don’t be under any illusion that I’ve left my blogging and will take on vlogging – far from it. Think of the vlog as a temporary measure to […]

What’s Your Purpose To Work Out Loud

Today is the first day of International Work Out Loud Week. (Of course, we know that you can actually work out loud any day of the week however, this initiative is something that we can all be part of internationally at the same time).    What is Working Out Loud? Bryce Williams back in 2010, defined […]

Are Member Associations Worth It Anymore?

Lately, I’ve been thinking “are member associations worth it anymore?” This question came about from a small sideline project I’m working on – it’s my own initiative so I’m free to write about it here. It was a kernel of an idea that planted itself in my head one day that had to be explored. It […]

Reflections of Snapchat Through Facebook Mutterings

I had enough. What was all this fuss about Snapchat? While the rest of the world was espousing this as “the next Twitter”, I decided to devote some time to revisit my account and figure out what the fuss was about.  I’ll share my reflections of Snapchat. For the last couple of months, I have […]

Have We Reached Saturation with Social Networks?

I’m in love with Snapchat. There I’ve said it.  For the last couple of years I just “didn’t get it”.  It was one social medium that I had no idea how to use, how to find followers and the whole point of disappearing snaps.  I discounted it too quickly without realising the huge benefit of […]

Professional Development is Personal

It’s no secret, I love to learn.  It’s what keeps me curious, engaged and excited about what I do. Over the years, the internet and in particular, social media, online communities and social networks have provided me with a wealth of resources, information and constant ideas that inspire and mesmerise me…and also confuse me! Still, […]

Why You Should Share Your Work

Many of you may be aware that I’m a fan of the work of Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer). It was only recently at the Pivot Summit in Geelong that I had been made aware of his work and I signed up to follow his Facebook page. Robert Scoble used to work at Rackspace as their futurist. Much […]

What Will I Be Working On This Week?

Well, it’s finally arrived.  International Work Out Loud week is here.  For those who don’t know what the fuss is about, it’s one week of the year where we all encourage people to narrate and show what they’re working on.  Whether it’s showing their work openly on public networks or in their own enclosed enterprise […]

“Promoting Empathy By Sharing Perspective”

Many people are aware that I watch Casey Niestat’s daily videos as part of my morning routine before I start any work for the day.  It’s morning walk, breakfast, coffee, Casey, work – in that order. But why? Ever since I saw his video called Casey’s Wildly Functional Studio a few months back, I was hooked. Here was […]

How do you remain relevant in a changing world? Day 1 of Work Out Loud

Well the first day of International Work Out Loud Day is nearly over.
