Workshops

Building and managing your professional identity
9 February 2013, 6th New Librarians’ Symposium, Brisbane
With the participants, my co-facilitator and I discussed what is a ‘professional identity?’ and some of the drivers for being in the online space. Differing perspectives and experiences about being online fuelled a lively discussion and exchange of ideas. We stepped the participants through fine tuning their use of some professional networking tools, such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. Finally, the participants were introduced to the theory of connectivism and how it may provide vision for learning as a profession.
