Hi,
I didn't do the activity for the wiki as I was using a wiki for a uni assessment.
I enjoyed using the wiki. It was a great way to communicate with others for your group assignment. Wikis allowed you to post work at your leisure for others to view. It allowed you to comment on the work of others in your group and edit your work. The wiki I used had a chat screen. When we meet online as a group to discuss our assessment, the wiki was very slow to respond. All members of our group had this problem.
Communication is more than just verbal and written, it is also the non verbal such as body language and tone of voice. without the body language and voice tone, it is so easy to take what is written in a chat session or senr via email the wrong way. Nor being able to respond to body language and tone of voice is a major disadvantage for online communication.

Social Networking
Hi,
A question was asked, how can libraries uses social networking? My thought on the question are below.
I feel a library's presence on social networking sites, would be benefitial as a way to advertsing the library to a demographic that doesn't use library services frequently.
The libraries would need to promote the segments of their collections that meet the needs of this demographic such as CD and DVD collections, resources that assist with HSC and University studies, as well as book reviews from the young adult and adult fiction collections that would appeal to teenagers and young adults.
Events that target this demographic could also be promoted through My Space and Face Book.
Cheers

Online Applications and Tools
Hi,
I have not visited my blog or continued with this programme for a good 6 weeks. The reason being that I was completing assessments for my postgraduate degree and I don't find the time to do the exercisies for this progamme at work and my spare time at home has been devoted to university assessments.
One of the assessments at Uni involoved the distance edcation students working together as a group. We did this using a wiki set up on the CSU interact website. This work very well until it came time to collate our work. We had a few version of our management plan attached to the wiki that, we had to be extra careful that we were working on the latest version.
Maybe sites like google docs could help overcome this problem.
I have posted to google docs aome of my family history research. I am going to post the link below to see if will work on my blog.
