Small Office Home Office (SOHO)?

Something that has delayed my plans for new revision materials, including multimedia "stuff" (see last post), is the lack of space I have at both home and work. York House was a bit of a dump but at least it was a more spacious dump than Chaucer - which is nice but lacks both identified office space and just spare (quiet) corners (or complete rooms) in which to sometimes work, especially spontaneous creative work.

Home is relatively small and my wife correctly reminds me that our conservatory is not an office and so now and again I clear out (or take *back* to my office) assorted materials. It would be so nice to have more room to keep all my bits and bobs or to leave out things like Camcorders all plugged in and ready to go... (either at home or work). Instead I spend lots of time and energy constantly sorting, hiding or otherwise putting away and getting out things without actually getting much done. Or as much as I'd like or otherwise could...

Blogger, NOW and YouTube

I've been off work lately because my mother recently passed away so I'm very grateful for a combination of Blogger, NOW (Nottingham Online Workspace) and YouTube. More to the point my third year Economics students are/will be for as I play catch up with my planned revision materials/sessions for their impending exam.

A mix of text, images, audio and video can be fairly quickly generated (I hope/plan) to give them a full range of revision materials that should suit any number of learning styles.
