2. How do you feel about technology?

5. Younger generations… Will never understand the battles we faced… What this sound is… Or what the relationship between these two objects might be…

6. Who is in charge here? “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” ― Henry FordHenry Ford Technology driving what we doWhat we need to do driving technology? A bit of both?

7. Bottom line tech should make something better for you… 1.Will it help me do more ‘stuff’ that I wanted to do anyway? 2.Will I be able to do better quality ‘stuff’? 3.Will I be able to do ‘stuff’ quicker? 4.Will it be more fun than the way I’m doing it now?

8. We won’t always get it right…

9. Where are you on the technology curve? It’s called what!? Hopefully, it’s just a faze… What is my password!? Hang on… no one else knows how to use this either! It’s going to be alright…

10. Dom’s top 5 tips 1. Get adept at adapting 2. Learn a few of the keystone technologies (e.g. skype, basecamp, twitter) 3. Accept it all changes (hopefully for the better!) 4. Be lazy (there must be an app for that!) 5. Share what works with your colleagues / learn from others learning journey…

11. At least 1 technology that helps you to work and connect with your colleagues At least 1 technology that helps to keep you informed with the wider world 1. Whatsapp 2. Basecamp 3. Teleconference 4. Videoconference 5. Skype 6. Twitter 7. Webinar Please take the opportunity to learn and have a go for yourself, as it will help to collectively build a stronger Team Scotland

13. And now? Those same opportunities to engage, connect and share professionally, within and across disciplines and international borders, endure. But the possibilities Twitter offers for SLT collaboration, education, intervention and dissemination of information are only now beginning to unfold. Copyright © 2014 Caroline Bowen
