Feeling a bit of a buzz today.

I think it's because the training session I was preparing on Monday seemed to go so well this morning.

The first 10 minutes we did most of this acvitity:
http://mlearning.edublogs.org/2007/03/16/workshop-activity-paper-blogs
which was enthusiatically embraced even by those familiar with blogs. And to think I'd nearly backed out of doing it at all. Then 25 minutes of "too many blogs and how to cope with them via a blog reader" - comparing Bloglines and Google Reader in some detail. Then 5 minutes to finish with the video that I mentioned on Monday (connected to the session by being a good example of the distraction of blogs in something found by an (otherwise) very useful/productive work-related blog!).

Given that I was a bit unnerved by:
a) the fact that I was supposed to be running the session jointly with a senior colleague but he'd pulled out for some reason or another
b) the head of library and the two associate librarians all turned up, not to mention one of the largest turn outs of library staff I've seen for one of these sessions
c) I'd been having a crisis of confidence that the whole thing was too basic (or "fun")

it was quite gratifying to find get some really good feedback and thanks that it had been really helpful and just the right level.

So much for my plan to be so trivial or light-hearted I was never asked again.
