  2. When and why should we use technology? Created using Wordle http://www.wordle.net/.

  3. When and why should we use technology?

  4. Technology should… Be used to solve a problem or to make our jobs easier. Engage and/or involve our students. Appeal to multiple intelligences and different learning styles. Give us time to do other things. Breathe new life into our training routines. Enhance or improve on an already effective training program.

  5. Google Sites Information Services online guide Benefits: Logon, word process, and save. Easy! It has that smart Google search engine built in. No “forced” collaboration.

  6. Why not Wiki? Wikis are for collaborative efforts. Everyone can edit/make changes to the content. A variety of uses for student managers: scheduling venue for training student communication duties lists

  7. Scheduling Free applications: • Wikis- PBWorks (formerly PBWiki), Wikispaces • MediaWiki = the software used to create Wikipedia http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page (Meredith Farkas’s wiki) Schmidt Library's schedule wiki Blackboard’s Wiki Tool

  8. Facebook • To use or not to use? • Create a library staff group and “friend” your student staff? • What about students’ privacy? • Maybe just encourage your students to befriend each other for shift coverage, etc.? • Bottom line… • If you use facebook for socializing, don’t use your personal page to communicate with your student staff.

  9. Make things easier.
