I have quickly realised that you can spend much time on all this! Watching the videos (over and over again) that grabbed my attention, reading blog posts and focusing for some short periods of time on a particular tool that I needed to use or wanted to further investigate. It can lead you off in different directions and soon find yourself caught up with reading interesting snippets of information.
Most of the tools I have had limited exposure to and some I have never (of course, heard of) I did download the doc. “25 tools for professionals” which I have already looked back on. I am also keeping a ‘note book’ of good ideas, things to check out again or use in my work. It also has prompted me to chat with colleagues and find out what they know about the various tools and how they see them being used. I enjoyed setting up my iGoogle page, so easy!
