Question 1... #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Increasingly I'm relying on virtual learning communities, they are accessible, flexible and frequently include a wider audience #OTalk

@OTalk_ As a student a lot of my learning is face to face - with my cohort, educators, other OTs I meet but I also learn from friends in other professions (espec education) and have learned so much from #OTalk, online groups etc
#OTalk @OTalk_
Lurkers are always welcome! #OTalk

Just lurking this evening, hoping to get some ideas #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT Mostly virtual- you guys, and then a couple groups I am associated with in AOTA. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@SallyScottRobe1 @Kirstie_OT @TRAMMCPD @SLawsonOT @hearled Brilliant to have you joining us. If you include the #OTalk hashtag in all your tweets people can see your contributions & chat with you 👍🏼

I think one of the most important things to avoid professional isolation is developing a support network such as mentorship - lots of opportunities #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT Being motivated and be reflective about what areas I need to improve on. #otalk

@hearled Or a community of practice. For me, being in community of leaders is actually very beneficial because I got a group of motivated peers that we got to work on projects together. #otalk
Deb Hearle @hearled
@Scrumpess @SLawsonOT I agree, so many invaluable communities and learning opps on line #OTalk

Question 3... #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT 10/10 in importance. Being in my kind of clinical environment, sometimes I need external motivation to improve myself as an OT. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@SallyScottRobe1 It becomes easier the more you engage #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT @OTalk_ For me, that will be a virtual community + taking on a project that is overwhelming is very overwhelming. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I enjoy the networking, the challenge of different perspectives makes me think and reflect, and all the references and resources are really helpful #OTalk
Sally Scott-Roberts @SallyScottRobe1
@hearled #OTalk I am increasingly using online as well as face to face. It has taken me a while to move beyond my technological phobias to be able to make the most of what is out there.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Could be flipped... some who are tech savvy may feel less confident in approaching someone in person or their verbal debate skills? #OTalk Different learning styles/preferences maybe?

@ot_lynne I think meeting up with others is so important. There aren't *many* online spaces where dialogues are completely open, threads can be ravelled and and information challenged. #OTalk is quite special in that regard!
Deb Hearle @hearled
@colourful_ot @SLawsonOT Learning from each other is so important #OTALK which is why it is always invaluable for all students to participate in learning activities

@dmay_ot Yes, hurray for #OTalk!
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot @SLawsonOT True- in my own community of leaders group in AOTA, pretty much the members involved have roughly same experience level. So working with motivated contemporaries is a plus. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
What?! How can they not know about us 😂 #OTalk
Deb Hearle @hearled
@SLawsonOT It’s also useful to have someone who is happy to challenge your ideas in a constructive way #OTALK I learn so much more thorough discussion and debate

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Definitely agree with that #OTalk I used to be a bit wary but my one hour of CPD on a Tuesday between 8-9 pm is now one of my most meaningful occupations

@SLawsonOT The certificate at the end 😏😜.. just kidding. I think learning that can be translated into practice, enhance practice or contributes to a particular way of thinking in relation to practice ensures CPD? #OTalk

@SLawsonOT I stop working on automatic pilot, it makes me think and explore #otalk

Question 6... #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
When it changes my practice or helps me make sense of my thinking and decision making. Impact is important so I'm always thinking how will this make a difference #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT For me in terms of learning about leadership, I would actually take moments to reflect, and then pass on such lessons to anybody who wants to learn from such too. #otalk
Sally Scott-Roberts @SallyScottRobe1
@SLawsonOT @colourful_ot #OTalk Whilst not related to academic development I do seem to find myself on sites such as pinterest in search of new resources to use with the children I work with and getting far too overexcited about being able to modify them to use with a specific individual.
Deb Hearle @hearled
@TokunboTweetz @SLawsonOT Hi Toks ....... 😂 back to the importance of applying learning again #OTALK
#OTalk @OTalk_
Interesting point! #Otalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
@SLawsonOT @Louisepenny87 I think this is especially valid for students. Everything we learn will inform/influence future practice but you can't reasonably record everything as CPD #OTalk

I think it is perfectly reasonable for learning to occur over time, a bit like longitudenal research. Those deeper reflections need time so don't rush it #OTalk

@SarahSharland19 @OTalk_ Yes- I know the late Terry Olivas De La O left a strong legacy for us OT community in terms of anti bullying and sharing #valueofOT to public. I literally thought about her work from time to time and her mission has become my professional mission. #otalk

That's a valid point as of course HCPC are interested in the impact of your learning #OTalk

Yes to appraisal but probably not enough re monitoring #OTalk
