Following the course, I am not sure what further support might be helpful. A one-day follow-up could be good, but only once I have had chance to use and explore what we have learnt.

Thoughts on the 3-day programme
Overall, the course has been very interesting and useful. I have picked up a lot of information and background about recent developments on the Web, and some insights into possible applications for the Wireless in Wales Museum.
Sangeet clearly has an excellent grasp of her subjects, and her presentation has been clear and straight-forward, and the selection of topics has been relevant and interesting. She has been able to respond to questions and demonstrate relevant examples.
During the course I and my colleague Mair have been able to develop ideas and strategies for the ongoing progress of the Museum's web presence, and a report which we are currently producing for the Museum's managing committee will benefit widely from our experience here.
If I may make one word of criticism, it is the somewhat 20-century mode of presentation - writing on a flip chart. A better alternative would have been an on-going document on the intelligent whiteboard, which could than have been saved and emailed to attendees as a useful resource. Although I do appreciate the wide range of resources available on the Wise Kids site, I would also, personally, have appreciated some printed notes, if only outlining the steps to be taken for the various exercises, making it much more straight-forward to practice at home or at work later.
In summary - an excellent course which I have enjoyed and found challenging.

MairJones Project
Gwefr heb Wifrau / Wireless in Wales Museum is beginning to consider the best ways of publicising it's existence as a Learning Centre for the community of Denbigh and nationally in Wales. This mindmap begins to map out the process of advising the Museum Team/Commitee as to the benefits of adopting a social media strategy as well as or instead of the traditional website it currently has.
Alyn's Project Web Interface Functional Diagram
The Wireless in Wales Museum is planning to update its website to include a blog and, possibly, a private or members-only section. This diagram is an initial attempt to show the flow of information into, out of, and through the resulting web presence.

Introduction to Mair Jones
My name is Mair and I attended this course as a recently appointed Learning Development Officer for the Gwefr heb Wifrau / Wireless in Wales Museum in Denbigh.
I am not very computer literate and struggled a bit to to the technical tasks during the three day course. I am however a complete convert to the value of publicising the Museum through the social media network.
My aim now is to co work with Alyn Ashworth, the IT Advisor/Volunteer within the Museum to make a presentation to the Museum Team about a social media strategy.

Alyn's Mindless Map
This is my first attempt at using Bubbl.us, and as I'd sloped off from the course early, I wasn't sure of the exact requirements, hence the somewhat off-the-wall contents of the boxes. Sorry!
