CPD23: Week 15 - Careers

It's week 15 of 23 Things for Professional Development. See our previous post about Nebraska Learns 2.0 joining this new learning program.

This week you will do Thing 20: Library Day in the Life and Library Routes/Roots, which is all about library careers. The idea is simple: blog about your library roots (how and why you got into the profession in the first place) and your library routes (the career path you’ve taken so far).

Don't forget, the deadline has been extended to October 31 for Nebraska library staff to complete all 23 Things for Professional Development and earn 15 CE Credits. Our original deadline was October 14, but we are moving it to October 31. So, you now have until the end of October to complete all of the Things. You do not have to complete the Things during the week they are first posted, you just have to have them all completed by the new October 31 deadline.

CPD23: Week 14 - Extra catch-up week and Thing 17

It's week 14 of 23 Things for Professional Development. See our previous post about Nebraska Learns 2.0 joining this new learning program.

The organizers of CPD23 have been listening to feedback from participants and have decided to change the schedule for the last few weeks of the program by making this an additional catch-up week. This pushes the end of the program to the week of October 10, instead of October 3.

In addition, Thing 17 is finally ready! It was originally scheduled for Week 12, starting on Sept. 5, but was postponed to this week. So, for this week, you can catch up on any previous Things you haven't done yet. And, you can do Thing 17 - "The Medium is the Message - Prezi and Slideshare".

Since the program has been extended, we are also extending the deadline to October 31 for Nebraska library staff to complete all 23 Things for Professional Development and earn 15 CE Credits. Our original deadline was October 14, but we are moving it to October 31. So, you now have until the end of October to complete all of the Things. You do not have to complete the Things during the week they are first posted, you just have to have them all completed by the new October 31 deadline.

CPD23: Week 13 - Catch-up week / reflection

UPDATE 9/19: Deadline for Nebraska library staff to complete all Things and earn 15 C.E. Credits extended to October 31.

It is week 13 of 23 Things for Professional Development. See our previous post about Nebraska Learns 2.0 joining this new learning program.

This week you will do Thing 19, which is another chance to catch up on the program.

This week there's only 1 Thing to do, so if you're a little behind on your Things, it's the perfect time to catch up. If you're just discovering 23 Things for Professional Development, it's the perfect time to get started.

Don't forget - Nebraska library staff who complete all 23 Things for Professional Development by October 14 October 31 will earn 15 CE Credits. You do not have to complete the Things during the week they are first posted, you just have to have them all completed by the October 14 October 31 deadline.

For Thing 19, you will think about how you might integrate the Things you've learned so far into your workflow and routines.
