Top Quotes from Józefa Fawcett:
- “My business is training and learning, and I have to keep absolutely on top of my game.” [on using new media]
- “Whether I’m designing training courses for other people, online or offline, or whether I’m producing short cartoons films, or whether I’m using QR codes to embed information… I have to keep myself up to date… and I love what I can do with new media.”
- “I have been around a long time. I am what you call a “baby boomer”… I’m quite old, but don’t think that us baby boomers haven’t really grasped new media. In fact, there’s an awful lot of research that says we’re actually better at it than people 10/15 years younger than us. So we’re not to be pensioned off quite just yet!”
- “I like something that’s really content-rich.”
- “I’m coming up to date and it’s all your fault.” [on discovering new podcasts and listening to the Audio Production Show]
- “I am a second-time around podcaster.”
- “I’m using you as a benchmark… the quality of what you produce is so high; I thought, “Well I want to do that,” – that’s the quality I want.”
- “I use Hootsuite for everything… this has got to be the best time-saver I have ever, ever used.”
- “I just want to understand from other people some of the latest podcasting techniques.” [why she’s coming to NMEU]
- “I’m coming with an empty notebook and an open mind.” [to NMEU]
