I’m starting up a few blogs at work and thought I’d share the links here in case you’re interested:
- A blog on educational technology, for librarians (and hopefully faculty) who are interested in how educational technology can be appropriately used to enhance learning in their classes. I started this ages ago, and only made one post, so I’m probably just going to clear it out and start over.
- A blog on emerging technology, for the WFU community, discussing new and emerging technologies (and some older-but-neglected ones). There will be a corresponding wiki to provide an encyclopedic resource, based on the blog content.
- A blog for a class on teaching-that I’m working on with a colleague-for library staff. This blog is more like a content management system for the “class” and will serve as an example of how a blog can essentially be an easy-to-edit website.
Before I start marketing these blogs, I need content, so I’m going to start chipping away at that now, starting with new tech. Knowing that not everyone knows about Firefox add-ons, but that there are a lot of interesting things going on there about now, the first post is just to set the stage for posts on that with an introduction. For that, I made this little explanation:
But the real question for the spring semester: will it get so busy that it will be impossible to keep these types of staff development tools going? I’ll keep you posted.

Good luck with these new projects! I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the Instructional Tech one. It’s a shame that it’s usually the staff development stuff that goes by the wayside when we get too busy with other things, but obviously, services to patrons have to come first.
