In my last semster as a library student I am creating an in-house four-part workshop for library instruction and Web 2.0 designed to help transfer students and non-traditional students learn more about the library and technology.
The first in-house session only had two people in spite of a mass e-mail being sent to about 2600 people. Of those that signed up, two e-mailed me to let me know it was the basketball traffic which caused them not to come out. I have taken out an ad on the campus network for the next three sessions, so hopefully they will be well attended.
To reach those who are unable to come I am also designing online modules using Jing, photshop and dreamweaver and our own library webpage. Perhaps I'm making it too hard on myself. The first session was just a basic introduction to the library, the online catalog, and the databases. Both students that attended were business students. Since I have already prepared for a MBA class I have to teach tomorrow I was able to show them a number of different business resources that excited them- the SWOT analyses in BSP, Morningstar analyst reviews, etc.
This Thursday I am teaching a class about Google - setting up your Google account, using Google Docs, iGoogle, and Google Scholar.
The following Thursday I will be teaching wikis and blogs using PBworks and Blogger - this is what prompted me to start a new blog. And on December 1st I will teach the final session - podcasting. When all four online modules are available I will post them on this blog. I knowyou'll be looking forward to it.
