Back to normal after jet lag

Here's a mind map of my idea, I will be delivering workshops around Wales as part of DW's Digital Lives project and I will create a blog as a resource.  I am currently looking into the accessibility of blogger and wordpress, and after a meeting with our web developer tomorrow, I should be more clear on which platform to use.  I'm also in touch with Disability Accessibility Centre in Neath who have suggested that I start work on the blog and send it to them to assess.

The blog will include direct links to the DW website as well as a accessibility resource that I'm working on with partner.  After each workshop, attendees will be able to visit the blog to refresh their memory.  I will include a tutorial section, and I will create these tutorials by using Screenr.  There will also be a tab about local services and where to find information and help.  Also, I'll have a stay safe online tab which will include tips re social media, email,shopping etc

Better late than never!!!

My idea for my project is still going to be based around Internet Safety, although I am going to concentrate on expanding my Blog in the process. I've created a mindmap from bubbl.us to show some of my ideas.

My internet Safety project will look at a screencast around Facebook Safety sessions, which I will also embed into my blog. I'll hopefully also look at this issue during my next consultation session at our summer residential trip. By developing my blog, I will also try and expand the participation of our young people, who I hope will post there and carry on the good work!

Project Ideas

My thoughts for some time is to set up and develop and multi media resource for Adults on the Autistic Spectrum, there have been many resources for young people but very little for just adults so the quest has been set........

Although this training has been looking at safegurding etc I would like to expand this and develop this to a Blog that would eventually be taken over by an adult on the spectrum to create a more sence of ownership etc.

The Blog will hopefully be a central point for adults to be able to look for specific advice around topics that they may be having difficulty around ie, Social Media, Dating sites, How to act in certain situations or just how the neuo typical mind works.(a tall order!!!!).. Bacically day to day difficulties people with an ASD encounter.

I hope it to be interactive with many differnt rescource formats catering for a wide range of abilities giving people practicle advise on helping promote inderviduals independence and create a sence of an arena to add experiences that may help others in the future.

I have including a brief Mind map from bubblus but neet to refine what I want but also what would be practicle and logistally possible.

PS. Please excuse the spelling the spell check on Blogger is playing up.

Workshop Idea

I've looked at both the mind mapping tools and prefer this one as I think that it is clearer for this project.
I feel that teaching the ladies that I work with to blog is achievable as you can alter the level of detail and skill required to get a desired result so it is flexible for people of differing abilities. It is a visual way of communicating and can incorporate a lot of fun and enjoyment in sharing their activities with people who care to know about their lives, also enabling people who are not completely independent to socialise and get involved easier with more flexible hours. Not restricted to college or when their mother etc is free.
I feel that there is a lack of communication between P.A's now with the Direct Payments scheme as you are a lone worker and feel that there needs to be a base or center for them to communicate if needs be, ideally from local services but even for each service user.
I know that Powys People First  have made a start at a blog for the group but it hasn't taken off and I'd like to be able to take this forwards and show the group in a workshop the possibilities and benefits of having such a dynamic line of communication open to them all.

Multimedia Project Idea

Here is a mind map I made on www.bubbl.us explaining what I will be doing for my multimedia project.  I have created a blog that I will use to help deliver a basic computer course for complete beginners.  As they will be beginners at first I will put them onto the blog as games will be provided on there to help them use a mouse and also a keyboard.  Then week 2 I will teach them how they can access this when we cover the internet.  This can be used to refer to after the lessons so they can practice and look on there for advice on safety and help with computer jargon etc.

 

 

Useful Presentation

 I think this may be useful as a basic template that may be enough for some service users. Although I would need to significantly adapt it to make it accessible for some of the people we support.

My Project Idea- The next steps

 

 This is my mindmap using Bubbl.us.  It has some quirks but once i got used to it,  I found  it useful to set out orgiinal ideas then return a couple of times to tweak it. It is easy to get carried away with these making them virtually unintelligible, but hopefully I have managed to avoid that.

  I will be focusing on a survey to establish what the need is, but as you can see there are many other aspects to getting this project up and running.
