Having completed the previous 18 steps, today I tackled steps 19 & 20 of the 23 Things program. Getting close to the end now!
WIKIS
I use wikis in my day-to-day work not only Wikipedia but I have participated in the wikis that the AEHD Faculty has created for 1st Year students and another temporary one for drafting the Faculty's 'Sustainability Guidelines'. Wikis have a big future in Academic life, whether it's to store collective knowledge or get quick feedback on an issue, they are a great way to communicate with the students and have applications for group assignment work as well. It was quick & easy to resize my cat, Frida's photo, and add it with some text to the Library Pet's page wiki.
YouTube
This year in the Knowing & Knowledge unit for first year students in the AEHD Faculty
I taught them in the Library tutorials how to embed TV News & YouTube videos into powerpoint. To do this I first had to teach myself. This made the 23 Things YouTube task quite a simple one for me. YouTube's widespread popularity an ease of use makes it an ideal forum for the Library to post short 'How to' videos on its services and
to promote changes to the Library. We could use YouTube video postings over the course of the Learning Commons building project at Footscray Park to keep our clients up-to-date with progress.
