I've played with a few new things - prezi, screencastomatic and these have been useful.
What has made a difference to me professionally has been my recent aquisition of an iPad, as this has allowed the social networking to be more seamless and part of my daily routine.
For instance before iPad if i wanted to check out who i was following on twitter I'd have to wait for a quiet moment (how often do they happen) at school to have a look. so I rarely used twitter, and linked in even less.
However since i downloaded Flipboard and have all my my networks in one place - with easy, instant access I check these out daily - if not more often. I can do this sitting at home during the adverts (multi-tasking?) and load up / email useful links into work to deal with/ circulate the next day. very cool.
So is it the tools (which I was aware of) or the equipment (the iPad) which has had the greater impact during the course so far.....
That said, I do LOVE the idea of cpd 23 things. I particullary like the reflective parts. Like this bit! makes me stop and think rather than just relying on intuition.
