A quick, fun project for students and staff of the Brandel Library at North Park University in Chicago was creating small Christmas trees from old paperback .

EER500 Assignment 1b

I have completed assignment 1b - this has been a really interesting experience. At first I questioned how valuable looking at another's assignment might be but in fact it was really useful. Looking at someone else's forces one to confront one's own efforts and also makes one look at another's point of view and construction which in my case lead to a very clear understanding of what is required to develop good arguments for research and what makes a good research question.

liked this video about rethinking learning - the use of gaming in learning is definitely a field i'd like to explore (possibly when there's not an assignment due!). Also yay to the debunking of the "digital native"

Todd and Valenza discuss research

As we are looking at research and research questions - o thought maybe i'd share 2 library studies well known personalities discussing research...

EER500 Assignment 1

well this assignment certainly came around fast - I get where its going for the next part but shees its certainly straight up and into it.

After posting this one - the next step is to do some reading and then evaluate both my and another students' posting and discuss strengths and limitations of various aspects of these. Its almost like learning in reverse.
