CPD 23 on the road!

I'm sitting in Savannah's Islands Branch Library creating my first cpd23 blog post. I'm on a busman's holiday!

I am very enthused to be a part of a new 23 Things professional development project because I learned a lot from OPL's "Oh! What a Geek." In that program I started this blog, I learned about mash-ups, and fun little applets to incorporate into the blog page.

My goal for cpd23 is to learn more social/technology to incorporate into personal and professional computing. Since I'm a lifelong learner I expect the experience to lots of fun.

While on our current vacation, we left the laptops at home and are corresponding via iPad. We're dowloading audiobooks and eBooks from 2 different Nebraska libraries and listening while we travel, and eReading during quiet hours with our family. The immediate, and personal connection with the iPad is quickly making it my favorite computing platform. I hope OPL's new ILS integrates with it over Wi-Fi, so that I can go out into the stacks and answer patrons' questions right there.

more later....
