Rudai 8: Infographics


Here is my first attempt with Piktochart. I thought in advance it would have been a case of changing a bit of text on a template and in minutes an infographic would exist. It took a little more time and ended up going back to look at the help videos. Even using an existing template don't underestimate the time that is required to put together an infographic! However I do think infographic visuals are very effective in making statistics you want to highlight stand out and draw peoples attention to them. I am going develop more for work and to try starting from scratch.Once I have the templates I need then it will be so much easier to just alter the data and publish. These will be very effective especially for end of year reports to highlight what I would like management to see first, and highlighting things like survey results to staff and students.
One thing I will have to do is work out how to get better information and reports out of my Library Management system. I know what I want out of it but not how to get it all. A steep learning curve awaits me.

Rudai 12: Online Collaborations

In the rural north east of Scotland working with school library colleagues is a delight, a great chance to meet, discuss, share ideas etc. But the rural nature itself can make the physical act of meeting up a bit of a trial – even arranging a meeting can be lengthy process. Our next meeting – now set for 19 th March, was the result of at over 27 emails over two days which got mixed up with a training day date too. Perhaps there are simpler ways of doing things and Doodle has stood out as a potentially useful tool to aid in the arrangement of meetings, and one I shall be looking to trial to arrange the next meeting! When reflecting on recent group meeting a and collaborative working, one in particular jumps out at me, an application for school library improvement funding which a group of us had volunteered/ been volunteered to undertake. Time was limited with only 4 weeks to get this completed – two of which covered the October break. After exchanges ideas, suggestions and commen

Simply Symbaloo

I've been using Symbaloo for a couple of years now and it's a great free web tool. Essentially it's a bookmarking tool for websites which you can curate into different webmixes - collections of websites. Each website is displayed as a tile, which you can re-name, alter the image and move about the webmix You then click on that tile to go to the website.  I have various webmix pages including for  collating web resources and videos for future projects, for CPD reading and webinars and also one for books I've reviewed for Reading Zone. It's a great being able to see what I've read and reviewed and bring up the review with just a click, and remind myself what a book was about before a book talk! As Symbaloo is a website you log into it from any device and manage your webmixes. Also, as someone who used to keep websites open in a tab on his iPad till I needed them, using Symbaloo has allowed me to tidy up by web browser and keep it much less cluttered! One other adv
