Topic 18 - Online Communities

Having previously joined facebook, I know about the tools and options available to its members and I think some of these can be used for tafe libraries.

I also am a member of the TAFESA library page/group and the postings put up there show what facebook can offer. With further postings and playng around it could be a useful tool.

Topic 17 - Library Thing

I am unsure what this could be used for in TAFESA libraries, but it does seem interesting to see what other people are reading or what subject is popular at the time.

I can't really see this being used by students at TAFE, I don't think they will have the time to add stuff or review.

anyway here is the link to my library :

Topic 16 - Image Generators

Image generators are fun to manipulate images and the options are endless.

I'm sure you could find one that could fit in with libraries and would go down well with the gen y crowd.

Topic 15 Podcasting

Trying to find a podcast that would work was a bit difficult, but finally I have found one

Star Wars Action News

Information about star wars for the ultimate fan.

the RSS feeds are linked on the left, but when you click the link it will open a download link but be warned the file size is 80MB.

Th file sizes could be a problem for some users and access may slow if opening at TAFE.

Topic 14 Youtube & Teachertube

Behold William Shatner aka Captain Kirk singing "Rocketman" at the 1978 sci fi awards.



You can find anything on youtube, but many copyright issues could come up.

Both youtube and teachertube have a good feature in which you can embed the clip into a website.
