Do you blog? Are you interested in blogging and other aspects of the Social Web? Do you know that the university has its own WordPress blogging and social networking platform to support all students and staff in their research, teaching and learning? (You probably do if you’re reading this on my blog!)
Blogs are modern, easy to use websites for personal, team, project and departmental use.
The Centre for Educational Research and Development are starting an informal lunchtime ‘blogs and social web interest group’. The group will meet monthly and is open to all staff and students to drop in and talk about how you use the social web and how you would like to use the social web. Share ideas and what you know; learn from other members. Bring your lunch and your laptop if you have one. Some laptops will be available during the hour.
The first get-together is on Wednesday October 14th, 1-2pm in MB1009 (the ‘Bean Bag Room’). Here’s the full calendar for the year. Click here to subscribe to this calendar or use the Google button below.

Joss – doesn’t that clash with the end of the next ‘Working smarter with the Web’ workshop? Danger of dividing your audience?!
On two occasions, yes. Though the ‘Working smarter’ sessions are only for staff and there’s nothing to stop keen attendees from walking across to the lunchtime group with me! Room availability, especially if we wanted MB1009 every time, was the deciding factor.
No prob then.
It’s a tight squeeze between a lecture and some training this week, but I’ll be there for at least an hour.
Great. Please help spread the word!
Also won’t we miss the November meeting Joss because we’re at CETIS?
Argghh! Yes, I’ll be at the CETIS conference. I thought you were only there for the 10th? Perhaps someone can cover for me at the interest group.
