Described as the “fundamentals of working with bloggers are the same as with traditional journalists at traditional media outlets: respect their schedules; take time to read their material to learn their interests; and only contact them if/when they want to be contacted.”

It is also with pride that I share a place on the list of “Top 10 UK Education and Teaching Blogs on Twitter” at number 8.

Excellent, it’s official – yesterday I graduated from Bournemouth University with a Postgraduate Certificate in Education Practice, with Merit. W’hoo! It was 8 months of hard work and well worth the effort, but I got there through the three Units and assignments.

Next up … CMALT, and who mentioned a PhD?

Congratulations to all those successfully listed on the Now Saturday “Top 20 most influential Tweeters in eLearning, Training and HR“. As the introduction to the list goes;

“Wouldn’t it be cool to compile a hot-list of influential tweeters operating exclusively in eLearning, training and HR? So we asked everyone we know in the webucation business (that’s quite a lot of people) to name their tweeter of choice.  Presented  … is what you get when you askover 500 marketers working in training, eLearning and HR to nominate just one tweeter worth following? “

Many thanks for my inclusion at number 12, I am honoured to be in such esteemed company!

So, not too much pressure then to continue and do even better ‘stuff then’? Nah, should be good fun!
