What people learnt from the first 'Why Blog?' session
We ran a pilot 'Why Blog?' session in advance of two workshops that are happening this month to provide professional development opportunities to those interested in working with blogs more (Tuesday July 12th and Thursday July 21st, register through the LDC website).
The group offered lots of useful feedback and we will be tweaking the session accordingly. At the end of the afternoon we asked each particpant to write down one thing that they had learnt. The results are posted below. Interestingly everyone learnt something different - which was not planned - but was very pleasing!
