This blog is here to give you a list of items/activities that you could use as a basis for your CPD log. I'll only list items that I think will help with DPG assignments or support you in the workplace. I'm mainly looking for facts and statistics that you can quote in your work. Thus providing you with useful references for assignments and ammunition to support points you might be trying to prove in the workplace.
I'll post an updated image of my CPD log in the thread from time to time along with an updated list of curated and evaluated items/activities. There you go, my gift to you: your CPD is taken care of. It's that easy.
The main image for this blog is my CPD log. What does your CPD log look like? I'd love to it if you commented with a screengrab of your log.
If you want to automate your CPD log and make it cloud-based like mine (above), log in to CareerBursts (via this page: https://bit.ly/32hukx6 ) and hit Record your CPD once you've logged in.

Happy Friday folks.
I've been a little more successful in terms of the number of items I've found this week (as opposed to last week). Here are four items I've found in my travels across the internet this week that will help those studying at DPG and could easily be read and added to your CPD log:
See you next week.
Oh oh, my momentum has slowed to crawl this week - I have one item to recommend to you. That's right: one!
This week has been tough on the old grey matter. I'll get more together for you next week.
I only have 4 items for you this week, but I am hitting my target of getting some curation out to you every week so I'm happy with that. These items should help with the named units/subject, if not remember that this kind of learning can be recorded as CPD.
Good morning all.
I'm posting up early this morning as I have a ton of work that I need to tick off today and since I've been ahead of the game with my curation this week, I can share it here and get it off my desk and on to yours!
Enjoy - and remember: even if you don't need these sources right now, you can use them in your CPD log and/or potentially add them to a relevant bibliography.
I've been knee-deep in researching for webinar preparation and elesson authoring this week and whilst doing so I've stumbled across a few sources that might help your DPG studies and general CPD. Enjoy!:

And I haven't added any of this to my CPD log yet - aaarrggh! I need to get a move on.
I had my second COVID jab yesterday and I'm struggling to keep my head up long enough to look at the screen, so curation is over for this week. I still managed to find 4 useful items though. 😊
Ok, I'm just going to rest my head on this keyboard and sleep off these post-jab side effects 💉. Bye for nowwwwwwwwwww

Here is my curation this week. I told myself to find 4 or 5 items - then I found 8. I just can't get the balance right 😉
Anyway, take a look at the resources. I hope help with your assignments and remember that reading is CPD and can be logged as such in your free CareerBurst CPD log.
This curation business is harder than I thought. As you can see my efforts (posts) are sporadic at best! So what's the answer? I'm going to try the 'little and often approach' for a while and see if that works out.
Here we go then, a much shorter list than previously and more directed at units within DPG programmes - yet all still viable as reading you can document as part of your CPD log.
I'll make myself a promise right here in black and white to share another 4 or 5 items next Friday too.

Here's me showing off my CPD log. 92 hours this year - not bad, eh? A lot of it is webinars though so I need to get some different activities on there. How is yours looking?
The Vernal Equinox is upon us (on 20th March at 9.37 am (UK time) to be precise). In case you don’t know what that means: it is one way of measuring the start of spring; it’s the point where the Sun passes directly over the Earth’s equator as the Northern Hemisphere becomes closer to the sun than the Southern Hemisphere. I imagine it as if our rotund Earth has been reclining in a chair, warming its feet by the fire all winter and now the time is right to roll forward, stand up and warm its tummy. It is time to come out of hibernation. My blog has experienced what could be described as hibernation in the past few weeks thanks, mainly, to an increased workload brought about by changes to the CIPD qualifications. So without further ado (or weak analogies), let’s have a look at what I’ve distilled from various newsletters and articles lately.
There are no top tips, opinions or blogs in my lists. The only items to make into my list are those that could be useful in your workplace, assignments or in your pursuit of CPD – all of which you can put in your CPD log.
Six is all I can muster up today, I’m afraid. I’m recovering from being ill for a week and those DPG Community newsletters don’t send themselves so I’ll have to go spend some time on thahttps://community.dpgplc.co.uk/CPDCareerst. This should be enough to warm the waistline of your CPD though – and I’ve added a bunch of events to the Events Calendar which you can also add to your CPD log. Let me know what you think and I’ll blog you later, hibernator.
