So it’s week 2 of cpd 23 things. I’m in the middle of madly finishing my very final assessment for my Information Management qualification, and packing to venture forth to the UK on a long ago planned holiday which has come up rather quickly! Onto the plane tomorrow!*
Let it be known right now that over the next few weeks my participation will be sporadic, but enthusiastic when it does happen! With plenty of exclamation marks.
A couple of things of note that have crossed my path this week:
1. that tedxlibrarian shebang in Toronto – looking forward to seeing the presentations online from that!
2. a great paper by Seely Brown and Adler: “Minds on Fire: Open Education, the Long Tail, and Learning 2.0″ http://webpages.csus.edu/~sac43949/PDFs/minds_on_fire.pdf
3. an interesting paper on blogging in a higher educational context http://eprints.qut.edu.au/13066/1/13066.pdf which should beef up my resources on the whys and wherefores of blogging.
4. a very nicely worded lit review on blogging from a masters coursework perspective http://www.elearningmag.info/?tag=etienne-wenger
*Why on earth am I posting this now? Because in the spirit of never enough time for professional development, and carpe diem, and some sharing is better than nothing, I feel I must do something!
