Thing # 15

I've used Facebook and quite like it for catching up with what people are doing and for storing photographs.  I'm liking photography at the moment and have been snapping away as I have got a new camera recently.  My friend has just been to Austria so I found some pics on FB as I'm going there soon and was researching the terrain (see below).
Current recommended clothing for Austria  is: a raincoat, a lightish jacket and otherwise the kind of clothes you would be wearing here at the moment, including something with long sleeves.

 I think Social media is interesting and students tell me they use it to communicate rather than email so I guess we need to embrace it in some way. I think a lot of the content though is rather frivolous and badly spelt.

Slides from the ALISS conference on social media are at:

See the You Tube video where you can meet me and have a brief intro.
Have done captions but am not sure how to add them so at the moment is uncaptioned.

I'm loving my new Google site for Translation. It's quite easy to do when you use a colleague's template. I think  I could have attachments for guides etc  at the bottom of some of the pages.

Thing #12

I've tried to upload a PPT to staff Google docs but have not been able to, it said that my file is too large. I may try again later.. 

Tried again to upload some minutes but it said  just froze and a message at the top said Your browser does not support all features of Google Docs. If you are having problems, try Google Chrome 

I'm not a great fan of Google Docs I have to say..
