digital humanities
Found this an interesting read (albeit a year old). Digital humanities was not a term i'd really come across but the ideas link to those of ideas of learning as being social and connected. Is worth a look..

Books on Bikes
Books on bikes?... well.... Librarians on bikes anyway.
This is an interesting way of taking services to more people - perhaps public libraries could also go this way for older people too.

ETL 504 - semester's end
So another unit down....
I was pleased with my last assignment and am glad for a break from study so I can concentrate on other family things for a while. Leadership has been an interesting topic - not the least as it has highlighted how much better myself and colleagues and managers could be not just at leading but at communicating. I'm hoping that armed with this knowledge i'll actually employ some of the techniques and ideas i've read about.
For other studying this unit in the future .... In terms of the last assessment - one thing the marker mentioned was the need for more focus on certain topics in the new curriculum. I found this the most challenging aspect of the assessment in some ways as there has been relatively little direction, guidance or writing on this subject so far (this was not helped by missing the unrecorded chat in which i suspect this was raised). I'd love to hear if others put more specifics in - and if so what? I'm guessing that they would have liked me to refer to specific topic areas or provide examples of topic to highlight/complement what I was saying.
In my section about leadership capabilities and roles, I included a whole school approach and outlined roles, and capabilites of all those who would be involved in the change process - while the marker liked this, they also said that i could have put more detail into the TL section. I had wondered about this at the time of writing but ended up going with fewer specifics to keep to word length.
Hope that helps. feel free to comment on your etl504 experience.
