At Eynesbury today 25 library staff spent their Saturday learning about blogging. With the help of Kate Sinclair and Helen Kwaka we each created a blog, spent a long time making it look great and some people even made a post.
The topics of our blogs are diverse, and we learned lots.

Summary Description of e-pd project activities 2004
An e-pd package was written by Project Writer, Pat Pledger during Term 1. This kit provides an introduction to online ICT tools available to teachers to enhance their professional learning opportunities, with an emphasis on literacy.
Pat then conducted three workshops on the package, the aims of the project and outlined the tools to be used in Term 2 of the project. Three face-to-face workshops were held during May, at Barmera Primary School (4 May), Technology School of the Future (6 May) and Port Lincoln Primary School (13 May). A total of 29 teacher librarians participated in these workshops.
Experiments with a blog developed at: http://slasaepd.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_slasaepd_archive.html.
Many participants then joined the slasae-pd, slasanet and/or oztl_net email discussion lists, and the Eyre Peninsula facilitator started a new email list for teacher librarians in her region.
At the workshops participants were encouraged to take part in the ASLA Online conference ‘Constructing communities of learning and literacy’ held 15-31 May: http://www.asla.org.au/onlinecon.htm.
There were 27 SA participants in this online conference.
On 9 September the e-pd project participated in an online chat in conjunction with The Network, Department of Education and Children’s Services Literacy, entitled: Literacy and ICT connections in learning.
Guest facilitators were the Literacy and ICT Policy & Programs Officers, DECS. Archive: http://forum.edna.edu.au/uploads/edChatLog_659_29Sep2004_10_30_57am.htm
