Fantastic new innovations are transforming the way we can use the Web.

New social tools such as blogs, wikis, RSS, social bookmarking and podcasting are not just making the web more accessible and exciting, but also beginning to change the way we work, network and communicate.

A new blog is set up every second, over one million people have contributed to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia and millions are now downloading podcasts.

It is easy to be overwhelmed by all the jargon and turned off by the hype but these applications are not just for techies, they are for everyone!

blogging unplugged is our new one day workshop which provides an introduction to the Web 2.0 world for busy professionals from a range of fields.

We enable you to access and try out the tools in fun and practical ways, we understand the philosophy that underpins their use, learn about how other organisations are using them and also meet interesting people from an array of backgrounds who share your eagerness to harness the new Web!

blogging unplugged is delivered using experimental and playful formats which demonstrate to participants the potential for creativity and the satisfaction that these new tools can deliver.

We use a mixture of improvisational techniques, games and facilitated conversation to bring Web 2.0 to life.

blogging unplugged is very interactive with no PowerPoint presentations.

At the end of the session you will come away with your own blog, will have used a wiki, learnt how to syndicate web content, accessed podcasts and added contacts to your address book.
