For the last week or so, I’ve been trying to put some semblance of order on my YouTube channel and in frustration, I’ve realised it’s a MASSIVE job. There are over 400 videos on the site and as it’s a channel that is used as a record of work and learning, a portfolio if you […]
When Subscriber Numbers Get Scary
One of the things I’m doing of late is getting ready slowly to remove myself completely from social media (namely Twitter and LinkedIn). At this stage, I’m unsure how it’s going to happen but what I do know is that I think I’ve pretty much reached my limit when it comes to learning how to […]
Books Are My Drugs
Recently I’ve been spending more hours reading than doing anything else. Truth be told, this year, my reading of novels had taken a turn for the worse. The recent books on the seller’s shelves were really doing nothing for me. In the last couple of months, I was unable to finish the novels selected by […]
Doing A Booktube
I’ve written a lot in recent times about getting some of my time back to get my headspace out of thinking and talking about work all the time (at times it felt I was thinking about learning and development 24/7 and my mind had to take a break). The way I’ve been doing this is […]
What Is Working Out Loud?
This week was Working Out Loud week again and I shared a few videos of what I have been doing (which you can see on these blog posts). I decided to revisit a video I did over a year ago because I had explained it perfectly while I was in my car. I thought I’d […]
This Month’s Snap Stories of Personal Learning March 2018

What I Learned at VidCon
Now that I’ve had some time to sit and think, I’d like to share what I learned at VidCon. For those of you who don’t know, VidCon is the world’s largest conference for YouTubers and vloggers or as their website says, “For People Who Love Online Video”. I heard about VidCon through some people I follow on Snapchat. […]
CollabCamp with Jayde and Bec
This week I had the pleasure of meeting up with my good friend Jayde Lovell whom I hadn’t seen for a few years. Jayde is a Science Communicator and host of YouTube’s The Young Turk Network’s SciQ Channel and also works at the New York Academy of Sciences. (I encourage you all to subscribe the […]
First Reflections of a Social Learning Program
Okay, in the spirit of trying something different, rather than blog my reflections, I’ll record them. One of my goals for 2015 was to experiment more with video – but don’t get ahead of yourselves thinking that I’m going to be the next Oliver Stone or something like that. If anything, I’m just dabbling with the […]
