I am skipping ahead to Thing 19 as I don’t have time to work on Thing 18 at the moment. I hope to come back to it next week.
I would love to say I have integrated lots of the ‘Things’ into my work, but unforunately I haven’t. However, my main reason for undertaking cpd23 is to raise my awareness of the sorts of things that are being covered, hopefully I will be able to integrate them into my work in the future. There is also the hope that the knowledge and experience I have gained will help me to get a professional role. I have also started to take more of an interest in the profession again and to think about my future and where I want to go with my career.
I have found some of the ‘Things’ useful for my personal interests, for example, using Evernote to make a note of craft projects I want to make or blog about, and using RSS feeds to follow blogs has been a great time saver. I find that the best way for me to learn about many of the items covered by cpd23 is to relate them to my personal interests, I then have more time to work on them and have something to apply them to. If I had a different role at work I might have had more opportunity to apply them to work situations.
Here is a picture is of my birthday cake from last week, in case you are wondering, it was chocolate sponge.
