		<description><![CDATA[This week I have been working on my career plan for the next year, five years and ten years! This might sound a pointless exercise but I have been thinking about how useful this is and would recommend it to all, whether you&#8217;re just starting out in your career or are more established.

		<description><![CDATA[Many lecturers have real problems with the idea of integrating social networking into their teaching because of its association with leisure activities (think of what the majority of us do on Facebook: it certainly isn&#8217;t professional networking!).
