Hmmm, well I've tried to do it, I'm registered as meadowlea but getting an error on my search engine. I picked url's that should have library stuff show up theorectically.
teachertube.com
youtube.com

Good idea & when my brain is less tired I will try it with some personal stuff to see if it works on that.

How to use a photocopier

Videoed by the wonderful Sharon starring me.

TeacherTube

http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=121765&title=How_To_Take_Care_of_Library_Books

A video to show kids how to take care of books at home. Useful for teachers/library staff to educate children on looking after books. Not fantastic quality but does the job. New meaning for the dog ate my homework.

I just figured this was some light entertainment

How to use a photocopier.

I am showing a customer how the photocopier works. When youtube cooperates I will post the link.

E-portfolios

bit.ly/polyfolio 

Mahara, seems like a good idea & it's online so we can access it from anywhere with internet access. Especially handy for when you misplace that flashdrive with your resume on it. Just need to find the scan of my Cert III to upload.

National Library of Australia podcasts

http://www.nla.gov.au/podcasts/feeds/nla.xml this is the link to get all the podcasts directed to your google reader or bloglines. I think it is handy to keep an eye open for new information. Actually when the news finishes I think I will download this one http://www.nla.gov.au/podcasts/media/Harold-White/Shrieking-Cockatoos.mp3 it is about the Australian women gaining the right to vote and heading to Britain to help the women over there (sounds interesting to me).

Wikis: one of today's learning sites

Very interesting tool, I can see the benefits of the collaborative effect of using wikis to brainstorm ideas. Wikipedia of course, being the most well known example. I have always had a problem with the authoritativeness of wikipedia but do use it to get to better sites so I guess it is very useful. I have a small problem with the fact that anyone can change things but I think that's why I prefer other tools such as my blog or google reader or delicious even. For library purposes however what a great way to engage clients, with new book lists, reviews, descriptions so that the catalogue ends up being sort of annotated. As a flexible student nothing is more irritating than ordering a book from the catalog then when you receive it is not what you need some sort of wiki links could get around this.

Anyway I found this site by a good old google search http://librarywikis.pbworks.com/w/page/17064487/FrontPage it looks interesting to me. Though it doesn't appear to have been updated recently at all.

Delicious

http://www.delicious.com/meadowlea this is mine that I've had for a while, I try to remember to save my favourites/bookmarks to it so when my computer crashes I can find sites when I can't remember the url. There isn't too much to do with libraries on it but I can see I saved some things with TAFE. Obviously we were doing something to do with Learning and it was a few years back (2008) before the changeover to Polytechnic . I was meant to do 23 Things in my free time but didn't find the time. Good thing our current class is covering this and more.
