Just a quick note, I have been worried about falling behind, and so I ended up reading the material too quickly and skipping sections I shouldn't have skipped, so I'm going to learn from this mistake and re-evaluate the way I am studying. I guess this is the start of my 'reflective learning'. I've just tried reading out loud, and recording extracts into my dictaphone iphone apps, and I can save recordings in folders etc allowing me to access them during my dead time. E.g I can playback a recording when I'm driving, cooking, at the gym etc, I am maximising my dead time. Reading the material, and hearing it back will hopefully reinforce the message more. Plus, when it comes to exam time I can mix up the reading with audio material, so all the reading won't seem overwhelming. We'll atleast see how this goes, so I've started again and have gone back to basics. I must remember to save these into Drop Box at some point.
This also got me thinking, about the EBI. How can I link iphone apps, useful social media tools etc to share best practice between offices? Can we share video testimonials, photo galleries etc through the cloud across various markets and for our clients too? We must explore, we must experiment, and we could use all these cool techie iphone apps and gadgets to move business forward. Or create an app? I've got great SF and Silicon Valley contacts, I may have to start picking their brains more and get advice etc. Anyhow, back to studying...
