Today's meeting focused on how I was to start my evaluative statement. I felt that for me the best approach was to use the 4 assessment criteria headings and gather evidence that I felt applied to each heading.
The discussion I had with my mentor hjighlighted how some of the evidence I have already identified did in fact meet more than 1 of the assessment criteria and I needed to be clear about how I was going to be more specific in showing exactly how the criteria was met.
I had included several courses and workshops that I felt met the continued professional development criteria, however after further discussion it was agreed that if I included a training log that contained all the courses etc I had been on then there would be no need to individually list them and use up valuable word countin the statement.
Another very important area that was highlighted in this meeting was my confusion or perhaps lack of clarity on what was meant by:-
Personal Development and Professsional Development
and
Service performance and personal performance
This might be an area for discussion at the first meeting of the local chartership support group in June.
My actions now are to differentiate in my own mind the above and to decide how the evidence I have already identified fits into theses catagories.

Group assignment 1 - RSS Feeds
Question 5 - What are the learning opportunities available?
Not sure what this question meant exactly - did it mean what learning opprotunities are available to learn about RSS Feeds and how to use them or did it mean What can we get out of using RSS Feeds - anyway I have taken approach 2
I have answered this question by focusing on what learning opportunities I have experienced in just the last couple of weeks. As I see it RSS Feeds are becoming a more popular way of promoting a site and its content. Users can select the feeds they want to view whilst providers can select the feeds they want to promote.
RSS feeds are also becoming an accepted viable alternative to troublesome emails, with their Spam laden content being difficult to manage.
I have done some research into the benefits of using RSS feeds and summarise some of the learning opportunities as follows:-
a) Responsibility – It takes discipline and responsibility for regular updates
b)Communication – The possibilities for spreading the communications network is there for the taking
c)Technology – (The ever advancing field of technology) every needs to stay current and RSS feeds are one way of achieving this whilst at the same time getting to grips with the actual technological specifications.
d)English literacy – Not sure if in the age of technology English grammar is a real must (Shame) however, editing of information does call for a degree of literacy.
e)Keyboard skills – Not only do we improve our knowledge of technology but our keyboard skills are continuously practiced.
f) Wider user base – RSS can reach many different user groups allowing free choice for the viewer to select a site of more relevance to them
We learn so much from using RSS because the kind of information content has no barriers. RSS Feeds can be used to deliver information through Blogs, Forums, Scheduled events, Retail or special feeds such as an Amazon search feed used to notify when specific new items are added, and of course news feeds to keep you up to date with what’s going on in the world.

Intro to 3CsT2
OK - So I might have been using this blog to record my meetings with my mentor for chartership purposes but I have decided to use it for my 3CsT2 course as well.
I am sure the current content will be of no interest to anyone but myself but rather than set up a new blog I thought this would do. (It took me long enough to set this up originally and I am not sure I could actually do it again)
Anyway here it is and hopefull by the end of this course I will have learnt what to do with it.
Good luck
Sue
