Poster presentation
Thursday, April 24, 2008 Blogging as a tool for learning, communicating & connecting and translating knowledge into practice
Tomorrow is the Dietetics in Action Day at which I will present this poster. Many of the dietitians at this event will not have blogging experience or will be unfamiliar with Greens & Berries, so I've kept the information very basic.
If you've been reading this blog for a while, you'll not find anything new in the presentation so you may not want to take time to open or download it. I'm including the file here so I don't lose track of it (!) on my cluttered hard drive at work and to remind me of the lessons learned (but certainly not mastered) in creating my second poster.

This is a really good poster Elaine - you've emphasised all of the professional advantages without managing to get into any scary technical stuff. I hope the session went well for you!
(I read through the poster this morning while I was catching up with a bit of reading, eating my muesli and yogurt - you can imagine my surprise at bumping into a couple of my own words too!)
Hi Sophie. I hope you don't mind that I used your comment. It is such a great example of how we can learn from each other. One of the reasons I think blogging is such a valuable Web tool is the interactivity that's possible. Thank you for looking at the poster. And I'm thrilled that you found it basic and non-intimidating. That was my intent.
I just came back from your site and am drooling over the the Tofu with Hot & Sour Rhubarb Sauce recipe.

That's a great poster, Elaine! It'll be nice to get more dietitians in the blogosphere :) Thanks for mentioning my blog; also I immediately recognized the "Touch" photo as the statue in front of the Calgary Board of Education building!
Hi Elaine - nope, I definitely didn't mind you using my comment (it was a nice surprise, rather than the other sort).
I think you definitely pitched the poster at the right level. It would be great if a few more dietitians take up blogging after your poster.
Thank you, Vincci, for your unflagging support. Yes, Touch is one my favourite photos. So evocative.
Glad to hear you didn't mind, Sophie. Yes, this is my hope -- that soon other dietitians will join the blogosphere.
