Week 9 – Wikis and Rollyo

Our library has a procedures manual wiki.  The procedures are regularly updated after discussion and all staff from both campuses are informed of the changes through email.  Collaboration is the feature.  As new audio-visual material is added to the collection, procedures are written eg. Using ClickView at school and for program planning at home.  Wikis would be useful for Literature Circles and also to update generic material for specific curriculum areas. I will need more time to investigate Rollyo.  I enjoyed exploring the free photos section and will revisit this section soon.  I would probably create a group of websites such as AskNow and the searchme search engine to help the students answer reference questions?  I would like to make a Rollyo of sites to include works by Ansel Adams photographs, Graeme Drendel’s artwork and Tracy Sarroff’s glass sculptures.   I would do this as an exercise and see whether I like Rollyo better than del.ici.ous which I use every day.
