Paul and I presented our “Making Technology Work for You” masterclass this afternoon. We covered various tools and apps for social media and demonstrated how OneNote can help produce quality content. There was plenty of “hands on” and opportunities for people to ask questions. We also had chocolate biscuits!

From people’s reaction after the event, it was a successful afternoon.

Watch out for our next workshop, which will be another practical guide to help your business with technology.

Yet another use for OneNote

Another use for #OneNote ‪@OneNoteC @OctagonT ‬

I have lost my voice and the doctor says, “no talking” so it can recover! My family and friends thinks this is really funny – plenty of jokes!

OneNote on my my iPad is coming to the rescue – I can easily write out notes on it to save my voice. If I want to “speak loudly” may be I’ll write in red.

At Octagon Technology we are big users of Microsoft’s OneNote. We particularly like:

  • the encryption security feature
  • that we can easily share a variety of information
  • that the information is then available across a variety of devices and platforms

Next Friday I am delivering a “hands on” seminar, with Paul, from PR Wilson Media, about how OneNote can help with social media content creation and management. Follow this link for more details and to book your free place.

Of course I need my voice back by then!

Sharing an office with Nick ‪@firstaidnick @OctagonT @ImpsPremierPlus

For a change I am sharing a box, at the Football Stadium today, with Nick from Hargreaves First Aid. It was good to have company whilst working, but he was doing an online first aid course which spent a lot of time talking about blood, wounds and bleeding – I did not have to look at the pictures!

Excellent training today with a great group of people ‪@MotivationKeith @PositiveNW ‪@thr0ughthelens

‪@MotivationKeith @PositiveNW

I have spent my day working on presentation skills with other members of Positive Networking. The training was led by Keith Warren who really made us work hard examining what makes a good presentation and how we present. I had a really interesting breakout session with Keith and Adam from Through the Lens Photography where we worked on exploring different styles. It made both Adam and I think about what we say and how we say it.

If you want to gain great presentation skills then you should contact Keith and find out where and when you can hear him speak.
