Starting out

I was pleased to find (with some fiddling around) that I could change the font. It is the simple things which make life fun!

I really like the Machine is us/ing us video (with the sound low or off) as it is like an artwork, but it is also a great way of telling a story. I think we can use this kind of creative story telling more in our work. Drawing stories together to have a greater meaning than they do in separate ways. It would allow us different ways of engaging with clients and the collections.

Finding the time for the learning has been challenging - but there are always ways of finding 15 minutes.

There are so many different learning styles in the test pilot team, it will be interesting to see what people like or don't like about the video elements, interactive activities and straight text.

You blog title caught my attention, I can't wait to see the view from your desk!

I am also a fan of Professor Michael Wesch at Kansas State, here is a link to his Digital Ethnography project. If you liked his first video (or maybe "their" first video as it may be) you will probably enjoy exploring some of the other work that he and his students have done. http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/?p=115
