Library Assistants Forum

Yesterday I attended the LAF at Hellesden Hospital.  We spoke about how people are getting on with the 12 things.  Not everyone had managed to find time to do the course due to pressure of time.  I am enjoying the course myself, although as with everything some things are easier than others.  I haven't completed all the tasks, but I particularly like the look of PREZI which is a  new way of organising presentations to make them more interesting and have more impact.  I'm hoping to have a go at this at home, as I am unable to download the feature at work.

Thanks to everyone for the lovely day yesterday - well worth going and I'd recommend to anyone thinking of joining us for the next one.

Presentations (Not presents)

Yes I have started my Christmas shopping, but apparantly this isn't to do with how presents are wrapped up - but how text is wrapped up in an interesting and easily understood way.  I had problems with downloading presentations at work - all the presents I liked the look of online (diamond ring, Jimmy Choo shoes, E-type jag) just wouldn't materialise on my desk, and also our IT don't allow some downloads - so it looks like I may have to try this bit at home.
I do like the look of the Prezi bit - perhaps I'll have more like with this, and I will have a go later this week to see if I can get the hang of it. 
I  already YouTube, so hope this bit won't take me too long.  I presume Flickr and Creative Commons are similar things, but not yeat had a chance to look at this bit.
Looking forward to seeing you all and finding out how everyone is getting on with 12 THINGS at the LIBRARY ASSISTANTS DAY at Hellesden on THURSDAY
