My E-portfolio

I am busy working on the final project for my graduate class in instructional technology. It isn't finished as of today, so you will have to check back later to see the final product.

E-portfolio for ETAP526

The winner for the wiki is...

My colleague and I have chosen to use wetpaint for our blog about instructional design and library and technology issues. We have been so busy with our regular jobs and our class work that we have not started much yet. Hopefully, we will have time this week.

Designer and Librarian Collaboratory

Library-2-LMS conference

The conference was a success! We had over 130 people here at Brockport for one keynote session, 9 workshops, and 13 poster presentations. Honestly, I was so consumed with the details that I didn't get to attend a session in its entirety, but we will have reports from the moderators for each of the sessions. The attendees asked if we are going to do it again next year!

Conference

My big conference is almost here! We are hosting a conference about integrating library services into learning management systems. While mostly librarians will be attending we do have some instructional technology folks coming as well. I want to learn more about instructional design so we can be more effective in the materials we create, whether it be webpages or online tutorials.

Technology... when and when not to use, that is the question

My colleague passed this quote along to me, and I really liked it:

"Technology does not necessarily improve education. Take a simple innovation like the pencil: One can use it to write a superlative essay, to drum away the time, or to poke out someone's eye." (Veenema & Gardner, 1996)

Food for thought!

SnagIt video

Here is a link to a very short video on finding a Literature database on the library web page (http://www.brockport.edu/library)

Choosing a wiki format

My colleague and I have decided to start a wiki to keep track of all of our ideas for an upcoming poster presentation we will be doing for a conference. pbwiki is one that we have learned about in class, but we have looked at other examples too. One professor recommended we look at wetpaint. I recently saw a wiki presentation at a conference and that professor recommened wikispaces. There are already many webpages written about wikis and comparison charts. Check back to see what we decide to do.
