This week it’s been about looking forward to running workshops, doing some proper learning about computers, the “other blog” and why I’m no longer @electricchalk on Twitter.

This week it’s about coming back after 2 weeks on holiday; trying to think quicker and tweet less… and there’s a new addition to the extended family.
Chalknote #1
July 23, 2010 - Chalknote -
In order to regain a bit of impetus behind my blogging I’m shamelessly nicking the idea of a few other bloggers and producing a weekly digest of some of the things I’ve been working on, discovered or reflected on over the course of the week.
This is the first one.
Why I’m switching off Twitter
June 7, 2010 - Uncategorized -
At the beginning of June I decided to ignore Twitter for a month to see how I got on and try to disentangle it from my life, hoping to get a clearer picture of why I actually use it in the process. It has become such a regular part of my routine that it’s hard to think constructively about it.
AudioBoo – It must be love!
May 28, 2010 - Site of the Week -
I’m going all gooey about AudioBoo at the moment. It’s sat around in the perpiphery of my vision for a while now but in the last month or so I’ve started to see it as a really useful addition to my network of tools, especially now I’m a JesusPhone user.

I’ve been reflecting on whether I think the backchannel is a good thing from the presenter and attendees’ point of view.
How technology helped our move to Newcastle
March 26, 2010 - Uncategorized -
It struck me earlier this week how much of a role technology has played in helping us with our move to new jobs in Newcastle. Some aspects were fairly bland but others have been a little more interesting. I thought I’d itemise the different ways and then draw some tenuous conclusion as I usually do.
Moving On…
March 19, 2010 - Comment -
The 19th March is my final day as the Training Officer at Sheffield East City Learning Centre. I’ve been here for nearly 5 years and have pretty much loved every minute so I’m leaving with regret.
