Building your online networks of people you can learn from can happen online and they can happen in real life – in fact, the medium is not really important – it’s what comes out of that network, connection or relationship that has far more value. Today I talk about meeting the people we have learned […]

I’m a Lifelong Learner
Today I thought I’d do a vlog after I was inspired by Steve Dotto I’m a Lifelong Learner (his YouTube channel DottoTech is excellent) where he talked about being a continual and lifelong learner. This is it and it’s well worth a watch. Much of what he said resonated with me as a continual learner […]

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 […]

Building a Network, Not an Audience
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 […]
Experimenting with InstagramTV with the Misfits of Learning
It’s been a while since I have blogged and in truth, I missed it. It’s time I get back into it and thought that my first blog post since coming back from a fabulous time overseas in Belgium at LearnTechDay was to share my initial experiences on a new project with a few of my […]

If I Can Turn Back Time
“If I can turn back time, I’ll do it all again…” sang Cher. Yesterday while taking a break from a knitting frenzy, I checked my Feedly account to scan through some of the titles from blogs I follow. One blog by Digital Sociologist Mark Carrigan (@mark_carrigan) is one which I make time to read because not […]
Live Lab with Desmond Herbert
Yesterday I was interviewed by Desmond Herbert (who I had first met on Snapchat) for his weekly Live Lab Facebook Live Show. Every Monday he chats with people who are using social media differently in their work and it was an opportunity to share how I use it (in particularly, Snapchat) for learning purposes. We […]
On Creativity and Collaboration – Creating Content Every Week
“All I did was plug in the machine and the rest <the team> – came naturally”. (Well, he did a lot more than that actually)… This is a great interview with Cammy Murray who created the weekly fake news channel, CNT News Channel on Snapchat. (I’m part of this small team of global collaborators who haven’t […]

Social Learning Is Personal
Ever since late last year, I’ve been revisiting my old work, blog posts, and references sitting in Evernote folders to do with connectivism and came up with the thought that, “social learning IS personal”. Let me explain. For the last few years, working as an independent consultant has been challenging to say the least. It necessitated […]
