Like others the world over, I too am mourning the loss of a giant amongst men. Just a few short weeks ago, I blogged about Steve Jobs after seeing his Stanford University Commencement address in March 2008. His words of advice to the graduating class were clear and simple. The three points he spoke about [...]

I’ve been thinking of late about change and how hard it is to develop new skills, new ways of doing that which we’ve done so comfortably in a set way for many years. There’s no doubt about it. It’s hard ….. very hard to get on board with all this new technology, to learn and [...]

Several times over the last few weeks, I’ve found myself in conversations with colleagues about the virtues of learning, exploring and discovering the new. Mostly the stimulus for these conversations was the impending PLN course run by SLV and SLAV which got underway in early May. I desperately wanted others to share in the enormity [...]

I know I’m not the first to say it, but trying to keep up with new developments on the technology front can be quite daunting. It seems that as soon as you get your head around one new development another three are in its place demanding your full attention. So ….. while some of us [...]

It’s that time of year for me ….. tidying up loose ends and making sure all my records are in order. I’ve been busy updating the list of PDs I’ve attended over the last couple of years, checking that I’ve got course titles and descriptions properly documented.

It was a few weeks ago that I saw someone’s desperate tweet: I’ve got too much to read!!!” Sound familiar?! Surely there isn’t one of us who hasn’t felt totally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of all that is ‘hanging around’ just waiting to be read!! Saving articles so I’d have time to get [...]
