CPD23 defeat

So I think I'm going to admit defeat and give up on CPD23. I was full of good intentions at the start of it but time just ran away from me. Given that it was all supposed to be done by the end of November, I think I need to accept that I'm not going to do the remaining 13 tasks and move on. I do feel slightly guilty, as I think it was a good scheme, but I've learned that I just couldn't commit to doing that many tasks in such a short time. Some weeks were fine, as there was only one thing to do. I had real difficulty though in the weeks where there were a few things to look at and some of them were pretty time consuming.

I don't feel too discouraged though as I did learn quite a lot from the things that I did complete. It made me think more about my online presence and try out a few tools that I might never have looked at. It's also made me start up this blog and I'll aim to try and continue with it. I am still attempting to do my charter so will record some of my progress here. I'm also doing interesting things at work as I'm setting up a Harvard referencing course on BlackBoard, working on a promotion for World Book Day and trying to think of ways to encourage teaching staff to engage more with the library. I've also enjoyed reading other peoples blogs of 'day in the life' so may try to do something like that next year. (on the other hand, this may be the last entry. We'll just have to see how it goes!)
