Margrove Park Website

This could bring out first participants. I went to the Village Hall at Margrove Park yesterday to talk about some new workshops within the SID project.

I proposed some sessions (see below). I mentioned Web2 for older people but the only bit they understood was "older people", a description they said applied to them. About half way through teh sessions I think they'll begin to understand and we'll get our participants then.

Marian,

From the notes you gave me at the Village Hall I propose the following idea:

To run club type sessions from 4pm to 8pm on Thursdays (we'll arrive at 3pm)

We'll spread out laptops so people can do a variety of things

Basic IT
Email
Updating the Margrove Park website
Using the website to contact us and receive support
Images, scanning etc
Anything else

Sessions to start August and run for 6 weeks on Thursdays after which we'll review what is needed

Still trying to verify the google apps account. Google are so hard to deal with with days between emails. I want to change the account to an educational account but somehow I have managed to convince google that www.tvcm.co.uk is an educational institution but not www.myweb2.com - not sure how I did that.

I could discount google as a source of web2 apps to engage people with but it's hard to ignore them. I have an inkling that this will work better if we try wherever possible to stay with one "brand". This means we could draw upon:-

Google Apps
iGoogle
Google Mashups
Picassa (need to run a comparison with Flickr)
Youtube (inc YouTube editor)
Google Docs
Blogger

Sorry guys nothing to see here. I was hoping to pull in the RSS feed to show another blog here. Watch this space.
