23 Things
This model of interactive, self-directed training is gaining momentum in libriaries, associations, and blogs.
This past week I started 23 Things for Professional Development after reading about it from Bobbi L. Newman’s Tweet @librarianbyday.
23 Things for Professional Development is a learning program designed to encourage exploration of new technologies within the context of libraries. I will follow a specific calendar dedicating each week to the exploration of Web 2.0 / 3.0 and new technologies. Throughout the program I will learn to use new tools (that are freely available on the internet) to better support student learning and increase my technological competencies.
I have already started a ZOHO Notebook to journal my adventure with the program and will link it here when completed. The 23 Things are:
- Blogging
- Online Presence
- Current Awareness
- Reflection
- Online Networks / Real Life Networks
- Organizing Yourself
- Librarianship Training Options
- Catch-up Week and Reflections
- Filesharing / Collaboration
- Organizing Your References
- Getting Involved
- Presenting Information
- Catch-up Week / Reflection
- Careers
- Promoting yourself in job application and in interviews
- Final Reflection
This is a great line up of activities in support of 21st century librarian literacies – transliteracy.
Hi
Many thanks for having a look at my blog. It’s great to ‘meet’ someone else who is doing the cpd23 programme!
I have never come across the concept of transliteracy so it’s been really interesting to read your helpful explanations. I look forward to following your blog as the programme progresses!
Hi Julie Anne,
Thanks for stopping by my fledgling professional blog. Yours is a great model. Well done. I’ll be back to read it more carefully once I get past this week’s job deadlines.
