First post

So with nervousness I am creating my first public blog, there are a number of reasons for why I have not started one before. I suppose the main one is that I have dyslexia and therefore my spelling (although greatly improved by spellchecking) maybe not always be great and the same goes for my grammar. So please forgive any mishaps.

This year as part of the CDG National Co-oridnator's role, I helped to organise the New Professional Conference 2011, and it was here that I came across CPD23. This I thought was an excellent idea, for  a number of reasons,

1. It is a manageable way of undertaking CPD, as you can be flexible in when you can undertake the tasks.
2. It gives you the chance to experiment around colleagues and peers, so I am hoping to learn and get more confident in using these new technologies

I am going to be undertaking this as a way of keeping up to date with new technology and I am hoping to learn new skills. As well as following others, learning works and what does not. I am hoping that it will give me a chance to express my own opinions and develop my writing skills, something that Suzanne Wheatley commented on during her workshop.

I am also planning to undertake my revalidation and this would be an excellent way of being reflective and having all my thoughts in one place.

Looking forward to all of the activities and finding out new ways of doing things.
until next post
