Ethical Blogging the Best Part
I'd booked myself onto a CIPR Ethical Blogging course a few months back and completely forgotten about it until my calendar reminded me. I set out on Wednesday 31st October not looking forward to the trip into Central London. I arrived a few minutes late and missed the introduction, which I think was just people introducing themselves to the rest of the group (who were mostly corporate PR people). Anyway, the talk started, and everything was making good sense, ethics is usually ahead of the law, the internet is an unregulated environment, anonymous comments, codes of conducts etc...
The best part was after the presentation when I got to talk to the speaker, interestingly he lectures at Bournemouth, when I told him I was from Ravensbourne he was really interested in my point of view from an education perspective. I started to explain about the setup we have here and some of my views and takes on blogs (and the web in general). Lets just say he was very interested in what we're doing and very impressed with how 2.0 we already are. It's given me great confidence and strengthened what I already knew - that Ravensbourne is doing fantastic things.
