[Digital-Mentor] Updates, etc

[Dave Briggs]

Hi all

A few bits to update people on:

1) The Expressions of interest should now have been submitted. The
Voicebox team have posted theirs on their blog:
http://voice-box.org.uk/2008/11/25/expression-of-interest-submitted/
and it sounds like NAVCA are bidding too, if Paul Webster's tweet is
anything to go by ;-) http://twitter.com/watfordgap/status/1024404246
Anyone else? There is a blog post here if you want to let people know:
http://digitalmentor.org/2008/11/expressions-of-interest-submitted/

2) Helen Milner also points on on Voicebox
http://voice-box.org.uk/2008/11/15/welcome-to-voicebox/#comment-10
that the bid deadline has been shifted to mid January from the end of
December, which seems sensible - many of us commented that the
timeframe seemed ludicrously tight originally. There are some slides
to look at with this and other information:

3) Another plug for Stuart's great idea of the short videos answering
the question WTF are digital mentors? See
http://digitalmentor.org/2008/11/what-is-a-digital-mentor/ We need
some more of these - I'll be doing mine soon. Who else is up for it?

4) It would be interesting to hear from people as to their thoughts
about the whole digital mentor project after the meeting at CLG? Nick,
Paul and I wonder aloud about this here:
http://digitalmentor.org/2008/11/more-video/ Does anyone else have
some thoughts? I would be especially interested to hear from those who
are already 'doing' digital mentoring in one way or another - can you
see the project changing things for you at all?

Cheers everyone - let's keep the conversation going!

Dave
