PDP Professional Development Profile

These are the notes I wrote during our lecture on our PDP this morning, these are points that stuck out for me the most. Last year I don't think that I used my PDP Blog enough, therefore my marks and my general work suffered because of this. I also think That I didn't use my blog enough last year also because I wasn't clear on what I had to put on my blog, but I fully understand now, thanks to this morning's Lecture.

This Year I aim; to update my blogs regularly, and to create blogs for all my work and research that I participate in this year.
