Social reporters training, 22 May 2012, CSIR Knowledge Commons

Big camera....checked. Tiny camera....checked. Laptop and all its paraphernalia....checked. Memory cards, card readers, chargers, batteries.....checked!

All ready and excited about the SAOUG social reporters' training taking place tomorrow at the CSIR Knowledge Commons, Pretoria (read more about the CSIR's flagship knowledge facility here). The event will be lead by Elmi Bester (more about Elmi) and looking at today's planned activities it is going to be a steep learning curve indeed!

Why social reporting? Why this blog?

The reasons are multiple but in short: I am interested in combining my love of writing, of expressing an opinion, of being exposed to new ideas, of being a photographer, of exposing others to interesting facts, of idolising adventurous fieldreporter Tintin, of analysing my thoughts and emotions, of trying something new, of observing people in action, of working to the beat of my own drum, of using modern technology enabling round-the-clock contact and immediate transmission and receipt of info........synthesize all of these and one ends up with a blog portraying the path of a newbie social reporter at the SAOIM 2012 meeting.

The aim of the blog will be to convey the personal thoughts, emotions, difficulties and obstacles, tiny triumphs, experiences and encounters while being trained and volunteering as a social reporter. It covers the period 22 May 2012 - 10 June 2012.

Welcome to my journey!
