Ruth and Margaret from Skinningrove Link Up UK Online Centre pick up thier first set of course books for the accredited UCPD in ICT. Ruth and Margaret both aim to develop the skills they have learnt so far at their own UK Online Centre and at Destinations as part of the SID project and hope they can pass these on to more people in Skinningrove. They particulary would like to be able to encourage the younger people of the village to come in and use the computers and to pass on to them the computer skills they now have.

On Wednesday 18th April at 2pm 11 students from Cleveland Fire Brigades Prince

Today the “digital tour” moved to South Bank and Dormanstown libraries (see below). In these 3 visits I’ve met with staff from every branch of Redcar & Cleveland Liraries. Not sure what they’d want to see I gave them the lot – The full digital monty! – First Time Online Package, Web Two Stuff, Internet Radio, Digital Music, Digital Story Telling, The Community Challenge Online Quiz, Blogging and Animation. Many of them had to be helped from the building.

Today I ran a “Digital Awareness Workshop” for staff of Redcar and Cleveland Libraries at Loftus Library. When I arrived I realised it would be a tall order as it was a beautifully sunny day (click on image right to enlage – this is Loftus Town Hall which stands opposite Loftus Library) Yes; it was a beautifully sunny day and several library staff had arrived for this workshop on their day off! Anway, I need not have worried, they were very attentive, interested and full of ideas. I think we can expect to see some interesting things coming from this workshop. Tomorrow there are two more at Digital Awareness Workshops. Dormanstown Library and South Bank Library.

Below you can see two great new animations. The first is “Diversity Dave” made by participants of Redcar and Cleveland Mind at Skelton Civic Hall and the second is “Mr and Mrs Careless” made the Prince’s Trust Recdar Team 8 at Redcar Fire Station. You can see all Prince’s Trust 8 postings here and Readcar & Cleveland Mind @Sklelton here. Both groups have a launch planned for their animations which will be reported on in this blog.
