Quivers down my backbone, I've got the shakes down the kneebone (Johnny Kidd and the Pirates)

In a galaxy far away and long ago...

I was looking back at a post I wrote about this time in 2011 - one about a teaching staff comprising three basic types:

• Superstars (the cream - the top 5 - 10%) 
• Backbones (the middle 80 - 90%)  
• Mediocres (the foot draggers, the gripers)

You can read the full post here. 

I am not a foot dragger, a griper, but these days I'm not a superstar either.

We have a couple of these in the department and they are great for advice. They are also hugely tech savvy. I get by, but I am not in my twenties anymore, i.e. at the cutting edge of new technologies.

I realised this as I looked at a brilliant presentation one staff member had made on fake media and I reflected on how, once upon a time, I used to teach media studies. That was 30 years ago though and I am out of date with the ebbs and flows of social media.

I intend to get more current by looking at current jargon. That will be my next post.

Let's see if a seasoned campaigner can learn new tricks.
