CPD23 - Thing 6

I'm a term-time member of staff in our team, and guess what - I've just looked at my work emails (all 170 of them). So, I'm a few weeks behind in my CPD23 training. Well, we are encouraged to go at our own pace! What is it this week? Guess what, those words that are still a little scarey to those few of us that are a little blogophobic or wary of the new ways of networking for the technically online folk.

I've looked at a couple of the most popular ones like Facebook and Twitter courtesy of my offspring. They of course find it the easiest way of communicating and interacting with friends, family abroad and of course it is the way these days of communicating and networking at work.

I do see the benefits of online networking, whether it be for social or work related reasons. The joining in on converstions and the sharing of information is of vital importance. It is obviously a most effective way of gaining knowledge and information from others, updating skills and sharing ideas with friends and people in the same profession.

 I must add that I still like the face-to-face more personal or natural manner or communicating by telephone . I think that all forms of communicating make us what we are and that shows individuality.
