SSSC 23 Things Digital - Email Having used email professionally and privately for more years that I care to mention (cough), this is a 'digital' area in which I feel very proficient. I always follow good practice in terms of address, subject line, content and I am able to add attachments appropriately.

Welcome to my Blog about Learning and Life

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my new blog about Learning and Life. I have many titles; wife, mum, friend, colleague and my work title of Coordinator with a Care Provider, specialising in support for Carers and Self Directed Support.

In my journey to learn more I decided on completing additional training available from SSSC, which first requires me to write a blog...so here we are! This blog will explore and let me write about learning, working through the SSSC Open Badges and chat about some of the things that I enjoy in life,  probably crochet - yes, I am one of them, because fun is important too. Hopefully I will enjoy reading other people's blogs too as we work towards badges together as an online community 😊
