Hey Alicia,
ReplyDeleteSo you don't think you're getting enough feedback from all of us?? We need to do a better job then! It's 4:22 pm on Monday, March 30th. I'm at the check in station...hmm...checking in..hahaha Can you tell me what you are doing at this time? : )
It's Wednesday and I am just now looking at our assignment for this week. I am a little behind so I am glad to see that I am familiar with all of the exercises. The PLA bootcamp group used google docs to share notes about the week...it is an excellent tool.

I scanned all 473 documents in Google Docs. A lot of duplicate ideas.
ReplyDeleteWe have played some with Wikis. Maybe a good place to throw around ideas and use a 'think bank'. I am not sure how wikis would be useful. Maybe a way to communicate with patrons in Public Services and Information Services. Help students with homework, help someone discover a new author or help search a reference question. There has got to be a way to get a handle on all this technology.
