The Evaluating Websites Tutorial ... using the CARS method to evaluate sites was good. I like the words associated with that mnemonic device: Credibility, Accuracy, Reasonableness, and Support. I wish that the author would have reminded us of what CARS stood for at the end, but that's a personal preference.
Three Steps: WOW! What a great video to motivate teachers to use technology in their classrooms! I want to show this to my principal, and encourage her to show this to the faculty. I think it would be cool to have teachers do the 23 things over the course of the school year.
Portal to Texas History... What a great way to showcase what an awesome collection! The PORTAL to TEXAS HISTORY hosted by the University of North Texas Libraries is a great resource! I will be sure to show this to teachers!
I spent quite a bit of time looking for a video that I really liked. I ended up using Zamzar to convert the file to an .avi format. (Thankfully I didn't have to wait long for them to convert it, as my husband is an avid user of Zamzar and has a paid account.)
Finally I found one called "Librarian 2.0 Manifesto" on TeacherTube. It is a series of "I Will .... " statements about being proactive in providing library services. I am comfortable with nearly all of the statements, but towards the end, a few are a little uncomfortable for me. Something to work on!
It took quite a while to get this video re-formatted and then loaded, but Yippee! It loaded!!
