Two personal development resolutions for 2012

Good To Great

Towards the end of last year, a couple of people inspired me in various ways and I started making a mental list of the things I wanted to do in 2012. So the pictures I upload to Project 365 this year may not be the most technically-accomplished, but they will provide a record of my year and something for me to look back on.

Learning 2012: what worked, what didn’t, even better if…?

Good To Great

Learning 2012, held in late October in Florida, was my first experience of a non-UK conference (in fact my first trip to the USA!), The size is much more convenient than the A4 programmes often provided, and the glossy finish meant it was durable and survived in tact despite being shoved in and out of my bag dozens of times every day.

Brilliant backchannel tweeting: what to do during an event

Good To Great

Provide an introduction and some context. Provide the title of the session, the Twitter handle of the speaker if possible, and a very brief summary of what to expect (if the title doesn’t provide that itself). Take advantage of any visuals provided. Okay, you may need two opening, context-setting tweets…!

Learning 2012: the 30 Under Thirty experience

Good To Great

When I attended Learning 2012 last month, I was lucky enough to be there as part of 30 Under Thirty : a group of 30 ‘future leaders’ in learning and development. Anyone at the conference – provided they were over 30 – could turn up to do some speed mentoring with us under-30s.

Changes in language learning for busy adults

Good To Great

So I was really interested to see a ‘changes in language learning’ session on the programme for Learning 2012 , facilitated by Jenny Zhu and Hank Horkoff. Aside from a couple of Greek vocabulary flashcard-style apps, it’s been classrooms, textbooks and handwritten homework. Point-of-need language learning.
