So, I went with Jonathan Worth to Lincoln University on Monday to speak to academic staff and students about open and connected photography courses. Something that budding creative practitioners have to tackle is getting work seen above all others. Now in photography, in an age which is image rich, standing out and having an audience…

Transparent Blogging
This week’s #dmlcommons welcomed the blog sisters – high five ladies! I sometimes wonder what I must look like when I’m sat smiling and nodding at my computer because when I caught up with the Hangout on Air, it just solidified everything I thought I knew about why I blog. I’ve moved from (in 8…
MySpace Profile
I just logged into MySpace for the first time in years. Until today, I thought that I was only an active blogger since starting university in 2011; but that’s absolute rubbish- I’ve been blogging since 2007. I just downloaded and read all of my blog posts from my adolescence and it is what you would…
#dmlcommons
Super keen on developing my blogging and community development skills, I have enrolled on the #dmlcommons course. Keep posted in this category for all my mischief.

St Andrews Primary take #phonarnation by storm
We took a jolly trip down to St Andrews primary school, host to some awesome #phonarnation photographers. Their work is absolutely amazing and they are so excited to be connecting with Gems Academy in Chicago. As a way to say hello, we worked on ‘message in a bottle self portraits’ to send over. How great are…
Being Active in a Community
Being part of an online community is something that I have been doing actively since I guess 2013. You could say that I’m a real newbie. What I mean by ‘actively being in a community’ is being part of conversations with people I don’t know, but have shared interests with. Until then I had been…
Mediactive: the Next Generation
I have just finished reading Dan Gillmor‘s book Mediactive and you know what, it’s bloomin’ brilliant. I don’t want to over-sensationalise things but it’s kind of the bible of being a consumer and producer of media (of any kind) on the web. "Welcome to the age of information confusion." Picked up @dangillmor's book today- I'd recommend it…
Making More Out of the Curriculum
Often I have conversations with my mum about education. It’s funny that she often has a very contemporary view about how children (in particular) should be taught; however, little does she realise how innovative her teaching really is. She runs a group of young journalists (aged 11 and younger) who report on important narratives in the…
