Looking forward

Most of this week was spent on our mind map evaluation task which required much time and consideration. Sent my thoughts and ideas to Colin but am also keen to hear the other mentors' perceptions.

Checking and corresponding to emails takes up much time each week. Although not so much time as trying to keep up-to-date with what's new in our sector and disseminating that information to practitioners in the most appropriate way. Added several new links and some latest news to Practitioners Plus - thanks Murray - and sent reminder to my contacts about College People Week.

Unfortunately not enjoying the same success as some of my colleagues in the advisory group stakes. Think I need to offer another incentive as the Sametime trial was not lucrative enough. Will need to give this some thought- suggestions welcome.

Hi Janice

I can only talk from what I have experience from within my own college, but the idea of blogging has grabbed manys attention. Being a departement which requires communication skills in most of their areas, the idea of blogging for communication, and evidence seems to be interesting. If you like we could look at having a bigger push with this type of technology

Thanks Annamarie. That's a good idea. Anything that will get the group/sector to communicate is worth a try. It's just making that change and developing new habits. I'll keep plugging away.
