Although I missed the training day on 10th April 2013 when the Learning 2.0 / 23 Things Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme was introduced to Bournemouth and Poole College (BPC) Learning Resources Centre (LRC) staff, I would like to join in with it.
I have looked at the home blog http://bpc-library20.blogspot.co.uk and think I know what to do.
Here are the first set of tasks - on Blogs:
1 Set up your Google ID and Blog accounts.
2 Create your first blog post - write about what you hope to get out of the programme.
3 Consider your personal brand. Post how you will achieve this.
4 Explore and comment on your colleagues' blogs.
I already have a Google/Blogger account, and some blogs (CILIP South East Hants & Wight - for events and past events of this CILIP sub-branch, The Bournemouth Librarian - which I use to list links for local library-related events & talks and public library news, and Emerald Guide - from 2007) but I created this new blog for my BPC LRC Learning 2.0 / 23 Things CPD.
This is my first blog post on this new blog.
I hope to learn new things and get this CPD professionally recognised when I finish it.
I will use this blog to document and comment on each of the 23 Things that I do for this CPD.
I have looked at the other blogs that my colleagues have created - early days so far! I did post a comment on Lesley's blog http://lesleymcd23things.blogspot.co.uk admiring her template.
Interesting to see your existing professional blogs, Sarah, and how you will use 23 Things for further development.
