CPD 23: Better Late Than Never!

I'm hugely late on the 23 things bandwagon, after only finding out about the course in September, at the start of my traineeship. As there are no plans to repeat the course at a later date, I thought it would be productive for me to undertake the tasks independently, in order to explore the new technology that the 'things' introduce and complement my learning during my traineeship. The premise of CPD 23 is to introduce you to a range of web 2.0 technologies, to help you in your career and professional development as a library and information professional. Each week, participants undertake a new task, aimed to help you interact with and reflect upon a variety of different areas. I will be working on the '23 things' alongside blogging about my graduate traineeship.

Some of the 'things' I have already had some experience with and others I will be experiencing for the first time. I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge of web 2.0 technologies during my time exploring each of the 'things'. As a new entrant in to the information profession, I think it's really important to seize every opportunity to learn that you can, I see this as a way of updating my knowledge and finding out about other peoples experiences with new technology through their own CPD23 blogs.
