Out of the dark ages…

Speech and Language Sciences at Newcastle University has spent a lot of time over the past few weeks finding its way out of the dark ages and catching up with the modern world! For those of you who aren’t yet aware, we have relaunched our Speech and language Sciences at Newcastle Univeristy Facebook page which has now gained over 300 likes and attracts daily interest from therapists and students from all over the world. As a department we are pleased to be able to share resources and information from our staff and from all over the speech world to our followers and friends. For those of you who haven’t liked us yet, our page can be found at https://www.facebook.com/slsncl

Sls@ncl has also appeared on…. Twitter! Yes, conversations with staff about “twitting(?)” have been refined and now we are “tweeting” daily, again sharing resources and engaging in professional discussions with the speech world. You can find the link to our Twitter page at https://twitter.com/SLSncl

Finally, we have produced a LinkedIn page and discussion area for past students, professionals and SLTs to join together, keep in contact with ex-classmates and colleagues and engage in inter-professional discussions. Although a bit slow to start with, we are confident that this can become a useful hub for people to use. http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Speech-Language-Sciences-Newcastle-University-5110447?home&gid=5110447&trk=anet_ug_hm

 Happy social media-ing everyone!

 

A new blog?! I’m speechless!

Hello everyone and welcome to the blog set up for the Speech and Language Sciences staff, students and followers! (Yes, that did say staff!)

Firstly, congratulations on finding your way here and not getting lost amongst all the links and “click here, click there, click everywhere!”. This is a new adventure for the Speech and Language Sciences department at Newcastle University and has been set up to help share all the wonderful hard work that the department has been doing. Modestly is not tolerated on this blog – if we have done something good then we want you to know about it!

The format of the blog will be taking shape over the next few weeks so keep checking back to read up on what the staff and students have been up to.

Bye for now!
