eBusiness Course 2/2006

Last night saw night 3 of our current eBusiness course. It is about doing an intro to the world of eBusiness, and so has people from various small business from around the Blue Mts.
Last night we had a visit from a representative from eBay. She was great and also had one of her eBay shop owners (who just happened to be part of the group). They enlighten us to the way it works and the things that can be done as well as the management of the eBay store (thanks to Janine and Charmaine).
As part of the discussion during the course has been the issue of being seen on the WWW, and the importance of having links on other websites. We have also discussed the use of blogs in helping to increase traffic to the ebusiness site. So... I said Iwould put a link to the participants website on this blog.
The links will be in the side bar till the end of the year but I have also included them in the post.

Digital stories

Last Tuesday saw Jude C, Michael N and I descend to Penrith for a time of playing with digital storytelling with Robyn Jay and Alex Hayes from the NSW Learnscope team. It was a great day with people from other teams based at OTEN. See the digitales wiki for mor info.
I played with making a walk through of a cave at Jenolan whilst Michael did a story of the first 12 (?) months of Miriam's childhood. All this in the name of learning.
As aways I wanted to stretch the limit of the software - not to be content with a frame by frame narrative, I want a continuous talk with music background across the lot. Well it is getting there. The finished version with sound will premier on google videos sometime in the not too distant future.
This was followed up with Alex showing us the uses of de.li.cous and other tools.
We even watched some home movies.

A great day - thanks Robyn and Alex
