Lynda Kelly's Comments

Hi LK - thanks for seeting this up. I am about to take off comaping (in the rain!) but wondered if you could send me links to the video of Friday's sessions....

I was really excited by the possibilities that came out of the last few days of visits. I will be sending a meeting request for a disucssion on using the exchange that Carolyn set up as a way of developing SITC etc...

Best

Hey Sophie and happy to welcome you as the first member of this group! The podcasts will be uploaded by HHT sometime this week as I understand it - is that what you meant? All the notes fthat Angelina took from the sessions can be found on our blog - http://nlablog.wordpress.com/ - and we'll post links to the pods from there.

Seeing as I am member number 3 - I assume there is not a lot of content yet....

Hi Lynda, I found the site via your conference blog - shows that the links work. This looks to me a better starter for an intranet than Facebook, so let's see how it goes. 36 members in 2 days isn't bad going!

Hi Lynda, this whole enterprise is challenging the ways in which I read and think (other than reading Tristam Shandy, that is). Following the digital natives/immigrants argument, I feel a little like a poorly prepared tourist who isn't sure where she is going and what she'll do when she gets who-knows-where. But I must say it's amazing and good fun. Keep prompting us to pack our bags and go on the journey.

Lynda, do you ever sleep! I think the idea of collecting all the websites cited by my English colleagues is a great idea when I can work out how to do it. By the way, the visit by Trish & Pauline to Ashfield Boys High School to prepare them for their Dinosaurs visit was fantastic; the boys were really switched on. We need to start to collect digital artifacts, like Daisy took some photographs, and imagine how the boys can develop a digital narrative of the whole project.

Lynda,

Thank you very much for the time you spent yesterday talking about everything other than that which was the stated purpose of our meeting, albeit we did 'sort' that out at the end.

You certainly provided information and ideas re the future development of our website which I found most useful.

Look forward to seeing you again on Thursday 13/03 PM

Thanks Lynda, I enjoyed your comments at the social media conference in Sydney last Friday also. I'm a bit of a 'one woman' team at the gallery so I'm very keen to use tools to engage a wide audience that I'm interested in and find quite easy to do - such as blogs. I use flickr and blogs to meet and promote my own work too.

Cheers!

Thanks for your welcome Lynda!

cool blog! I'm not very good technically so my blog doesnt look half as nice as yours! (and thanks for the feedback btw, i was actually really nervous and a thumping hangover didn't help!)

Mardi's comment raised one that I had. Only ONE spot for a blog on the profile ;>(

Couldn't tell Lynda! ;-) though I had an opening the night before and had to catch an early flight so my head was thumping too! I'm not that technical either but am getting some help from some of our exhibiting comic book artists to assist with tech stuff - they love the blog and are looking forward to creating some interesting content for their show in June.

have added additional questions now for blogs, flickrs, wikis etc etc

Thanks Lynda, I noticed. Now I will need to change my profile ;>( Nings are great aren't they? We have three for our staff and I belong to a couple of others.

i'd just go into your page and edit from there if you want to add more websites to your profile. I'd be really interested in learning about how your nings are going with your staff - we want to do this at the AM (as well as for evaluation). Why don't you start a discussion, group or blog on this ning so we can share our experiences?

Lynda,

Did you receive my email re Thursdays event?

Does it work as an intranet?

Are you able to insert formatted text/html into a text box? It appears to be limited to bold and italics only.

Peter R

Hi Peter. I'm still experimenting on this as an Intranet. I'll try bold, italic. Could also try cutting and pasting from another doc? why dont you start a forujm post and we could all comment on that?

bold ands italics worked for me but what other formatted text would you be wanting to insert?

Hmmmmmm; to quote:

I note the use of the words careful and useful!
