Using technology to network

I've been mulling over how we can "refresh" the BAOT student local groups.....by using our computers a bit more to keep in touch! There are so many different ways to connect online now...discussion forums, facebook, bebo etc. The student local group network aims to connect students with each other... and me. However, organising meetings and then updating me on the issues discussed....can, I'm sure, be a bit dull and time consuming. If we can utilise our electronic networks a bit more...maybe the network will be come a bit more "dynamic"? Suggestions, as ever, are welcome.

Record time

The posters have arrived already! I will soon be sending them off to the various OT programmes....to be displayed in key places. You might see one soon!

There are now 16 members of the Facebook group!

Leaflets, Postcards and Posters

I "signed off" all the student marketing material yesterday. The A5 leaflet, A3 poster and postcard designs have gone off to the printer....so I will soon be surrounded by boxes! This material will support the presentations provided either myself or one of my COT colleagues at your University or College. They are bright and eye catching so hopefully will help raise the profile of OT?

I've recently launched the Facebook group- Get Connected: Occupational Therapy Students. So far 13 people have joined! It will enable students and new graduates to keep in touch - in a different way. Have you joined yet?

The "Get Connected" model used in the new BAOT student marketing material! I honestly never thought I would get involved in developing leaflets when I started my OT programme all those years ago!!!!!!

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog!
Reflection, reflection, reflection.....is what my blog is all about! I'm going to be out and about visiting OT students around the UK so in addition to updating you on my lastest visit....you will hopefully get an insight into the role of COT student officer.
