Blog feedWhy do I need to request to join a CPDShort?
February 28th, 2010Most of the CPDShorts come from publicly available sources such LTScotland, TED TV, Journey to Excellence. So why put them in a place on Glow where I have to apply to join a ‘group’? There are a couple of reasons but it’s mainly about encouraging professional learning beyond stage 1 – raising awareness . See CPDScotland’s section on the 4 stages of CPD. To move to stages 2 and 3, I really need the support of colleagues.
To see those colleagues on Glow (using Who’s enrolled on this CPDShort?) you need to have an enrolment system. To that extent, it’s more like a small-scale, face-to-face CPD event. There aren’t many of these you get to visit anonymously!
In addition, Glow allows us to share thoughts and examples of practice as well as prompts to take your professional learning further in the cpdshort+ section. See the New to CPDShorts section on Glow for more details of this.
