This Week’s Snap Stories of Personal Learning Week of 10 April 2017
This week was all about the lead up to Easter. Although I’m not religious by any stretch of the imagination, it’s the one holiday that I can’t ever imagine being away from family. I can travel overseas during Christmas but Easter is sacrosanct for family. So this week, while my days were spent working on conducting […]
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 […]

This Week’s Snapstories About Personal Learning
I started to use Snapchat again after a long break over January as I was doing a lot of soul-searching about my independent consulting career and instead focussed on “slow reading” to get my mind on other things.

Welcome to My Snapchat Channel
What is a Snapchat Channel? If you don’t already know, I’m on Snapchat. I started using this platform some time ago in an effort to understand what the fuss was about. I’ve been using it to share and show my work (and snippets of my knitting and the things that I enjoy) however, in the […]
Writing an eBook on Snapchat
via GIPHY For the last couple of weeks, I’ve had my head down writing an ebook on Snapchat. The ebook is titled How to Use Snapchat to Show and Share Your Work (the title may change). It’s being written for an audience who may be aware how to use this social medium but may not […]
How to Use Snapchat For Your Business
For the last few months, I have been actively exploring the use of Snapchat for the purposes of business. I’ve specifically looked at how you can use this tool to share and show your work and projects for the purposes of creating conversations with people inside and outside your field and networks. I have been […]
Organisations Who Snapchat
First of all, let me say that yes, I’ve heard that Instagram has similar Snapchat functions and no, I don’t see that I’ve wasted my time on Snapchat at all. If anything, it’s made me appreciate the subtle differences between platforms and I’m now more aware of how to use the tools for the right […]

People Who Show Their Work on Snapchat
Many of you may know that for the last few months or so, I have been looking for people who show their work on Snapchat. I recently wrote about it in my blog post titled: Reflections of Snapchat Through Facebook Mutterings. You might ask, why did I do this? The answer is that I didn’t […]

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 […]
