Working from home since the dreaded pandemic means constantly working at over 100%. No office chat, no social coffee breaks, very limited CPD. Don't get me wrong I love my job, but I love time to enjoy my job recreationally too. Attending in person workshops, conferences, gatherings seem like a distant memory... will our networking events ever return? Being online for networking events is not the same, our passion is lost in translation.
Yes, Twitter is great for making connections to people and organisations within our communities and to build community online, but you can’t beat real, face-to-face connections. The pandemic has intensified many of the factors that can lead to burnout and stress, social distancing has really taken away the fun and the great supports that we librarians are used to. Let's just hope our connections will be rejuvenated very soon!

I created my ePortfolio in 2017 when undertaking the eportfolio module in the certificate in teaching and learning where the learning outcome was to develop an electronic Learning and Teaching Portfolio representing my ongoing professional development, using the platform as a space to work, reflect, document, share and discuss.
Investing time in developing and maintaining your portfolio is always a good idea It can help with job applications and interview preparation, appraisal discussions, applications for further study and of course meeting CPD processes for a professional network. The L2L joint digital badge initiative has been piloted, offering librarians an opportunity to record and reflect on their professional development by mapping CPD activities to the national forum personal development framework through an eportfolio. I signed up for the course to explore the National Professional Development Framework and reflect on what is involved in making a commitment to my professional development as a teaching librarian. |
