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.

How to use a photocopier.

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

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).

Podcasting

Hmmm.  Seems simple enough. I figure I can handle itunes if I have to, I just prefer not using giant companies software that has to use lots of megabytes to update regularly. So I went to the ABC link instead and subscribed to some more feeds and am listening to the news right now, it did take a little while to download but I am on the Polytechnic network which is faster than nothing. Anyway if you would like to listen to today's news http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/news/audio/am/201107/20110720-am-full-program.mp3 and you too can subscribe to the daily news and get links downloaded to your googlereader or bloglines if you are ignoring that small print.
