MMit Part Two



The event went very well, although one of the speakers had to pull out at the last minute. I must admit though to a certain degree of web 2.0 ennui. It is difficut to establish how to pitch presentations, getting the balance between what knowledge you imagine your audience has, and what to repeat. Certainly thinking about our presentation for m-libraries I am very conscious
that we might be saying something that others speakers at the event have already covered!

One interesting output among many is I am now into Tweetdeck-looks fun and useful. Excellent way to observe tweets in a conference along with adjacent applications.

Speaking of new apps I am also getting into http://www.wallwisher.com/ .This is a great google supported idea. A mix between a postit wall and a wiki




Tomorrow I am representing our service managemnt team at an all day event on "Managing others through change" a bespoke programme to help our staff adjust to new structure

Mmit...Web 2.0-where will it end?



Currently at this event in LJMU facilitated by Leo Appleton and Anthony Beal. In keeping with previous MMit events it a very full timetable, fortunately assisted by lashings of caffeine at 9.30.


The morning's presentations were very varied from Russel Prue , the ICT evangelist with a whirling array of apps and hardware, through a thoughtful look at the philosophy behind successful learning spaces from Les Watson, to the judicous overview of libraries and Facebook from Jane Secker - see Jane's excellent bookmarks at http://delicious.com/lse_lassie .
