Hi,I thought I'd better write a quick post to introduce myself as the project's new Outreach Worker.
I'm really pleased to be working on the Digital Storytelling project, and am excited about the work that Mogs and I will be undertaking over the next 18 months or so to help communities benefit from the diversity of technology that is available to us these days. It's a great role for me as I am a techno-enthusiast, so as well as helping to share my enthusiasm and burgeoning IT know-how with others, I'll get to develop new skills at the same time.Over the past few days I've been working closely with Mogs learning the ropes - I hope it's not been too painful a process for him! As part of my 'learning by doing' regime I have made my first ever digital story. Had I realised it would be offered here for the world to see I might have chosen to focus a little less on dogs...!
I've also spent some time absorbing the project's background and structure and am looking forward to meeting the other field workers and project officers to further develop my understanding here. Now that I'm beginning to get up to speed with the way the project has been working, I'm keen to get out and about and run some training sessions. I'm also starting to form some ideas around how we can further develop the variety of training and services that we offer... Watch this space!
