Soggy Class Aftermath

I hope all of you are dry and not afloat.  It’s nice to get at least a little sunshine today.

I’ve updated the Planner from Saturday, checking resources, and adding a thing or two into ELC.

I forgot to say that Mike Law, the UGA-Gwinnett university librarian, has agreed to come on Oct 10 and give us a session on GALILEO.  I’m hoping he will focus on ERIC.  (And I just heard today that the Feds are pumping some new money into ERIC — great news .)

We didn’t talk about the Notebook  – just begin that as soon as your RQ comes in.

We also didn’t talk about team member makeup – from today, if you send me a project related question, remind me who your teammates are and I’ll make you a private discussion board.  It is always best to thread project-related Q&A’s in this way.

Understandably, there was a lot of internship-related activity over the weekend!  I have caught up or made promises regarding submissions.

Let me know if I’ve left out anything.  I’ll look forward to reviewing your RQ drafts a week from now.

Ready for Saturday, almost

Hello!

The agenda for Saturday is set.  I’ll see you at 9am.

At 11:00, other folks will join us and we will shift to All Things Internship.  Bring your questions – this is an open info session.

At 12:00, you’ll have a chance to meet with your group.

Important: in our time as a class Saturday, we must discuss the Dec 12 issue.  I meant to do that back in August, but it didn’t happen.  So think about it and we’ll talk.

I plan to finish your SLMS Interviews today – almost there.  This is not a feedback-intense assignment; it sort of stands on its own merits.  You can browse through the discussion board notes at your leisure.  There are lots of great “problems” there!  Your team needs to zero in on one asap.

Tomorrow is a busy meeting day – I will definitely not be able to clear email again until Monday (after today).

Weekend reminders

Hello!   Bits and pieces for you today.

Although you don’t have class tomorrow, your Interviews are due on Sunday night.  Remember that there are 3 pieces to this.

One thing we learned from the Profiles is that the term “Dropbox”  might be confusing.  Follow the Assignments button on the left of your ELC 6900 screen, and it leads to the list of assignments.

I’ve already graded a few early ones and these are interesting to read.  Once you’ve submitted yours, browse through the others – lots of good ideas in there.

Check out something new:  a Netvibes view of the course.  I’m still building.  I don’t expect to put anything unique there, but it provides another way in that may be a bit more user-friendly in some ways.

Enjoy your weekend!

Reminder: Submit profile

Hello!

Just a quick reminder – submit your Profile in ELC/6900/Assignments.  This will take 10 minutes.

Most have done this, but enough have not that a class reminder is warranted.

Let me know if you have any problems.  Thanks!
