CPD 23 – Why am I really doing this?

ICT Literacy Specialist — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 00:58:38 +0000

Why am I taking part in this course? It’s about time I get up to date with the tools available. In the past 3 years my role has changed (as has my job and place of work) from TAFE to University. At TAFE I had opportunities to indulge in researching and using different technology to achieve blended delivery – this meant time to ‘play’ with different tools to keep up to date. These days I predominantly train and develop resources which keeps me very busy but doesn’t keep me informed about the tools out there. So…… what I am trying to say is that I am hoping to top my knowledge up by keeping to the CPD23 schedule!

Where is my career now and where would I like to go? My career is at a bit of a stand still. I love the training aspect (interaction with people) but need to keep motivated and learning. I want to update how we train and the tools we use.

How to improve my blogging? Any feedback? In regard to content I guess I am hoping fellow bloggers relate to where I am coming from and that I can learn from them – their blogs and comments. I am new to blogging ‘professionally’. I am an informal trainer, so guess my style will be informal. Must remember to keep it friendly yet professional In regard to look, layout and links – I’m still learning!

What am I most looking forward to? Just reread The Plan and it all looks pretty good to me, however my favourites would be LinkedIn, Podcasts, Twitter and creating my personal brand…

Hi all

After a day of having troubles with 3 PCs (well that would be networks as well) I am trying very hard to remain friends with technology.

I am sure I will know some of the things I am going to learn in this online quest for Professional Development but am looking forward to the stuff that I do not know – and learning how to use it both professionally and for fun

That’s it for today – short and sweet.

nduffin
