Don’t laugh. It worked.

Bookmark and Share

Mark at Notes from a Teacher: Mark on Media caught the session I led at Northern Voice yesterday on social change. With all three other panelists unable to attend, I was alone on stage. We were hoping to bring in one of the absent panelists, Marnie Webb, by Skype, but nothing was working.

Then came a life-altering suggestion from Phillip Djwa, and… well, see for yourself.

Updated: Here’s the link to the sites we talked about during the session.

Updated II: Wendy has posted terrific notes from the session.

    Rob – great session. I learned tons and need to share with my team back at the office. You said you’d post URLs for the exmaples that you used…help me find them!
    Thanks.

    Hi, Donna – I’m delighted you enjoyed it! I’ve posted the link to the Northern Voice wiki page with (nearly) all the sites we talked about during the session. (I couldn’t find one of the post-London-bombing sites someone mentioned, but I think I got all the others.)

    Right on! Thanks for the blip. I actually got a lot out of the session too, plus yikes, that was a speaker’s nightmare – a panel that turns into a solo gig and you handled it with aplomb! :)
