Here are this week’s snap stories of personal learning commencing 24 July.

Today I share some snaps on my process for dealing with LinkedIn invitations to connect.  This was one of the most engaged snap story because people screenshot as well as connected with me to learn more about my process.  So much so, that I was asked to only snap about how to use LinkedIn for building networks as I think that the majority of the people who watch my snap stories and people outside the corporate world or students.  The comments I received from this snapstory related to the fact that people were surprised I didn’t automatically ignore the requests and instead sought out opportunities to have a conversation with them IF they responded to my questions.

In this snap story I talk about how difficult it has been to write my Snapchat for Learning eBook because the rate of updates and changes in functionality of the tool is greater than my writing speed.  I wonder that writing instructional guides nowadays is really a waste of time because the material becomes redundant even BEFORE you publish it.

I’m getting ready to go on my second trip to Sydney today. The reason for my travel was to continue my historical jaunt to learn more about Australian history but also to help out a friend build her online personal brand so that she could be seen as a credible and influential person in her field.  In this snap story, I show how I pack when I travel interstate – I’m a very light traveller.  Usually one back pack is enough for me and somehow I squeeze everything in that.

I arrive in Sydney and after a wonderful lunchtime meet up with four others in my field of Learning and Development, I head into the Rocks straight for the William Bligh statue.  Before I arrive at the statue of my hero, I buy a chocolate and coconut flavoured ice cream from Gelateria Messina called “Bounty” and proceed to eat that in front of the Bligh.  The irony was not lost on me.  I spent the afternoon near his statue basically chatting to him about how I believed he was a culprit of “FAKE NEWS” in his time.

The rest of my time in Sydney was spent wandering around museums and historical sites to learn more about the life of the first settlers over that weekend.
