- Blog twit workshop (4 August - 3 September or forever or
there abouts...)
Go the the workshop page: click here
The aim of this workshop is to get teachers and members of
NGO's (my 2 pet favourate groupings :-) to create and maintain a
focussed blog while supporting one another using twitter. We
will use twitter as our main communication channel and explore how
it can help us to do advocacy for our blog, get quick ideas and
discover the learning magic! This way we should be able to get into
the habit of "blog-twitting" and also explore how we can use it in
all aspects of our lifes, organisations,schools. The blog can be a
personal blog, school blog, class blog or a organisational blog! I
will endeavour to facilitate your journey through little steps in a
supported way, helping you over the little nitty gritty little
thingies of blogging, widgets, gadgets and twittering. Hopefully we
will evolve as strong learning partners with functional blogs!!
Latest: I have tried to do this in an organised way (with
timelines), but alas, life happens so I have decided not to take
myself so seriously and rather go with the work/play flow. So when
I ahve a chance in betwen lifes have-2-do's I will wonder over here
and carry on with the workshop- I hope you will do the same or take
over form time to time...???
