Test Survey

The following is the test survey we created in our session using Google Documents.

Time to Play

As we're not able to look at delicious today, I thought it would be a nice idea to take some time to look at a few online resource that may be useful to you. Below are some links for you to explore.

These links were all found through blogs I follow, and stored in my Delicious account.

Not quite Delicious

This week we were hoping to explore how Delicious can help to organize your web-browsing.

Unfortunately, some late-arriving technical issues mean we'll need to put that exploration back to a later date.

The following video (another from our Common Craft friends) gives a summing up as to how a site like Delicious can help. Please note the movie is a little old and Delicious have change their buttons slightly. Please feel free to try this at home (yes, it will work on a Mac).

We are working to sort out the technical problems and should have the buttons available on your desktop in the near future.

Wikis in Plain English

The work wiki originally comes from the Hawaian word for "fast". (I learned this on wikipedia).

The common craft video I shared with you at the meeting is a great introduction to how a wiki works.

The link to Bridget's Curriculum Wiki is http://rviscurriculum.wikispaces.com/

Remember that wikis are essentially shared work spaces. They are extremely versatile. Once you get the hang of them (and, like most tech, it takes some "playing around time" before you're comfortable) you'll find plenty of uses both professionally and personally.

And don't forget the biggest wiki of all. http://www.wikipedia.org/
