Exploring Blogs & Rediscovering Pinterest

Today's new challenge has been to explore other blogs, which I have already begun to do.  I spent some time over the last couple of weeks exploring colleagues' blogs. As well as posting comments, I also posted an article(?) on the BPC Library 2.0 blog, entitled "Have you got a Google+ profile?" to help colleagues who's blogs could not yet be seen by the rest of the group. I have had feedback (via email) that this was helpful for at least one individual.

I was very interested to discover via Marianne's blog that she has begun a Pinterest board for Teaching Information Skills. It was quite inspiring to see these resources displayed in such an attractive and visual way via Pinterest. My sole use of Pinterest previously has been to display research into library furniture and design. However seeing this has inspired me to create my own Online Learning & Development board on Pinterest to capture some of the best Web 2.0 and other online resources I discover: or at least those that are visually appealing!

    Hi Lisa, I think Pinterest is great! I have found some good ideas on Pinterest for our teaching sessions.

    Fab! Hopefully we can chat a few ideas over soon.

    Happy blogging, Marianne

      Hi Marianne, thanks for your comments. As you may see from Elizabeth's comment below,we don't seem to be able to view your blog now. Have you any idea what we're doing wrong? I followed your invite, but must have forgotten to follow you or something?? The same has happened with Bookbandit...

    Hello Lisa thanks again for the helpful Google+ profile post. There are still four blogs I'm unable to access because they have this profile, but strangely (technically speaking) I cannot access Marianne's blog even though her profile has been changed. A shame, as you seem to find it very useful.

      It's funny you should mention that, as I can't see them either! I was able to view Marianne's via her invitation, but since then it has disappeared. The same thing has happened with Bookbandit too...

    Hello Lisa, I can view Bookbandit so not sure why you can't now. There must be some logic to this mystery!
