Week 6 - Prezi

Well Prezi seems very impressive and I would imagine would hold the interest of an audience more than a 'boring' Powerpoint presentation. As mentioned elsewhere I think that adding too many 'bells and whistles' might prove to be a negative aspect of Prezi's abilities and we'd need to rein in our enthusiasm. I managed a lovely presentation regarding my daughters christmas presents - those already purchased and any remaining ideas, complete with shiny pictures from the internet.

Reflection week...

So I'm enjoying the opportunity to explore some of the new fangled e-tech that is available online and I can see how it may be useful for all those networking busy full time librarians who are going places. But I'm wondering how much practical application there might be for little old me, who only works here at City twice a month. It has made me realise though that all the lovely skills that I learnt during my Information Science masters should have been more closely remembered, especially all the technological aspects that I secretly loathed. Nowadays so much of the library world revolves around online accessibility that as a non I-phone owning 'traditionalist' (who likes to read books as they were originally conceived),  I wonder if there is any chance of professional advancement without joinging the bandwagon.
