Thing Seventeen - The Sandbox

I think I posted to the Sandbox. In case it ended up in the wrong spot, this is what I posted:


As a cat person, I would never play in a sandbox...

But I do try to follow directions, so I will post to this wiki. To be honest, I'm trying to absorb all we are learning in our 23 things activities. I can't say that I have anything very creative to add at this time. But I'll try...

How about a wiki to manage all the ILL requests, especially all the ones for multiple copies? Librarians can post their requests and those who can supply can respond, eliminating the need for SO MANY EMAILS?

How about a wiki to plan a research project that involves several teachers, all with different perspectives on a similar task.

How about a wiki to discuss ways to implement things learned in Library2Play in our DNN webpages?

Thing Sixteen - Wiki, wiki, wiki

I enjoyed this Thing more than some of the others. There was lots to read, and I clicked on all the links, and the links within those links and bounced off from there to other things to read. The bottomline...wikis seem to be an easy way to edit webpages and offer simple possiblities for collaboration. I understand the concept, I can see librarians buying into the process, it may take teachers a bit longer. It may start as simply planning for student instruction that involves the library. We'll see what I can come up with and then I'll be sure to add it to a wiki...

I found great ideas within The Teacher Librarian Wiki
My favorite was Copyright Friendly Image Source
I also found a great list of Graphic Novels for Secondary Libraries. In Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki the section on Selling your Library - wow, some great ideas. I bookmarked several of the sites in Del.icio.us. See, I learned something useful...
