23 Things for Professional Development

I am taking part in the 23 Things for Professional Development programme over the next few weeks. I am particularly interested in new technologies and social media and how these impact on students' information literacy. I am involved with developing online materials to support their needs and embedding digital literacy into the curriculum alongside our existing information literacy programme.

I have used my blog up until now to serve as a backup to my tweets. I have tried blogging previously but have been intermittent in writing posts, preferring the 140 characters of tweets to jog my memory of information flying past me! Writing for me is more of a chore that I associate with producing reports, journal articles and more weighty documents.
