Community Service Day

This morning we travelled to the Izmir Technical Institute about 40 minutes south of the city.  We were scheduled to give a series of presentations to a class of about 70 computer science students.  The idea was that each of us would talk for about 5 minutes on a topic we felt would be of use to the students.   Richard had suggested using Prezi as an interesting / different way of delivering the material, so over the last few days each of us provided him with our materials and he merged this into the final presentation.

The full sequence of presentations can be viewed at

I was up first, after a short video.   My theme was 'continuous professional development' and I tried to convey this by showing that throughout my career I have continuously learned new skills as my role has changed.   I dont know if you can get that from the slides without being able to hear what I said to each one.   The other presentations are also interesting and showcase the diversity that makes up IBM.

And we got some news coverage
