I should have done this roundup yesterday, but you know how it is! There is always some project to do.
At the moment it is drafting up my notes for some training I am doing for solicitors in Nottingham this week.
I’ve decided to use the ‘notes’ feature in powerpoint, which is actually pretty good.
So the handout will be pages with the slide at the top and the notes underneath. Which will also include space for them to add their own notes during the training.
I should have used this before really. I will certainly do it again.
But what happened on the blog?
