This is my new blog; set up as part of the 23 Things course. I have used social networking for a while through Facebook and Twitter. I have dipped my toe in to Linkedin and Ecademy, although don't do a great deal with them. I do have other blogs, but as they were set up some time ago and each have only 2 or 3 posts I clearly do not use them very often.
So, I decided to set up a new blog; one that I can use for my "in work" CPD.
The 23 Things course really fits in with my curiosity about online methods of reaching out to "customers". It's not that online things are new to me so much as their potential to be applied to my workplace is, as yet, to be fully explored. Finding time to explore their potential is always an issue, but this course looks like it will take me through that without the blind seeking that I would have to do otherwise. Yes, I could stumble upon something useful, but I want to know what else there is!
I'm not sure what I'll get out of the Librarianship training options in week 7 as the team I work in is on the fringes of the library, but I do see this as an opportunity to tweak skills and take what I can from what is presented to us. I'm not expecting to be in my current role forever! Every day teaches us something new and every step we take can lead us to a future we had never anticipated. So let's see... maybe I'll be a librarian one day! Whatever the future, I always aim to use what I learn - everything is useful.
