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.

Really like this workshop idea Jo. I also wanted to check on your multimedia project idea - is that going to be a blog that you have already started that you can use with this group? - Sangeet
