JSWEC 2007 Swansea

Joint Social Work in Education conference (JSWEC) 2007.

I was there at the invitation of the Social Work and Policy Subject Centre, with whom I have an e-learning consultancy role. One of my jobs at the conference was to record video interviews with some of the keynote speakers and authors of key texts who were present at the conference. I was also working as an event photographer capturing lots of “goings on” and capturing some informal video footage for later use in some training materials.

There will be some formal video footage on the SWAP website in due course but I’ll also be putting together some short video montages using free software, and then showing people just how I did it, so that people can learn how to do it for themselves.

Thunder and Lightning

Like thunder and lightning, By God it’s so exciting…

To quote the late great Phil Lynott (of Thin Lizzy).

There’s a thunderstorm raging as I write this little ice breaker to remind myself that I need to play catch-up with a dew items. First and foremost will be a quick overview of things I did at last week’s JSWEC Conference in Swansea. A useful but very busy conference. Can’t say I was too impressed with what little I saw of Swansea but I don’t think the weather helped… but got plenty of tasks done while there.
