    I love a good bit of heritage. One where you can have fun. I grew up in the Boyne Valley. Trim Castle was my playground before the state took it into care for the tourists. The Hill of Tara was there for running up and down on. It was only after that I learned the […]

    As part of DS106 last week, I had to go on a Design Safari. Armed with my camera I had to get out and about and look for some photos to illustrate certain design elements. The first thing that it thought me was how hard this was. I tend to use my camera like a […]

    NPD Ireland approached me recently to do a guest post on their blog about my information journey and I created what you see below. I thought that I would explain exactly how I did it, just in case someone else would like to have a go. StoryBird was the main visual resource that I used […]

    When I first heard of Twitter, I figured that it couldn’t be that useful if it only worked on 140 characters. I neglected the power of the link. I stayed away from it for the last few years due to the fact that I did not have access to a smart phone. I did dip […]

    Part of my work at the moment involves making videos and sometimes I need to overlay music as part of that. This brings up copyright issues which are pretty time-consuming to work through. It is hard to find music which can be used online but it needs to be done. First, there is the artist […]

    February 16, 2013
    This week we had to create a 5 sound audio story using nothing but sound effects. I had to go through quite a few tutorials for these. I recorded the sounds myself on my phone and then uploaded them to my laptop which meant a roundabout route through my pc using my partners camera. That ...

    February 10, 2013
    This week in DS106 I was mostly listening to audio. Radio and podcasts. Apparently, radio is very popular in Ireland, according to an ad I heard on the radio. I listened to a few radio stations. Mostly American. I love American talk radio, not the crazy stuff but the stuff that transports you with stories. ...

    I was doing some research on MOOCs (later) and I came across this blog on Twitter, which struck a chord with me, for a number of reasons. Digital Storytelling uses a lot of open source tools that I was introduced to in Digimedia. Tools that I found interesting but that I had not found a ...

    Infographics are all the rage these days.   Image credit – http://namedropnyc.com So I thought that I would mess around with a few of the many free options out there. Piktochart offers about five free themes which you can adapt. You can upload images and drag a drop a range of shapes, graphs and texts ...
