Brad’s Ve-learning project

Welcome to a training session on Social Bookmarking, emphasizing Delicious.  This is a rework of a videocon presentation, and of necessity primarily a lecture type format (running time approx 45 mins excluding activities).    

This window is the principal ‘home’ window as it contains all instructions.

Ultimately you will have a Powerpoint running in a new window (or SlideShare in this window) where you will be changing slides, an accompanying podcast audio (which will prompt you for slide changes) running in another window behind it, & 3 Delicious windows also behind for when you might find them useful.

So, you will need 5 (6 if you use Powerpoint in preference to SlideShare) windows open:

1)  Using a right click, open in three new windows the links http://del.icio.us/bremertafe

http://del.icio.us/horticulture  and

http://del.icio.us/qld

(Bremertafe is a Delicious site designed for administrative purposes, in this case covering the basic operations of a TAFE library.  Horticulture is another delicious site designed around educational usage i.e. for students & teachers of Horticulture. 

The Qld site is a play area for you without having to go to the trouble of opening an account – user name is qld, password is 123qwe )

These 3 windows can run in the background until you need to refer to them.

2)  For the main Powerpoint presentation , open in a new window, this link  Bookmarking with Delicious.  (Alternatively, you can use the SlideShare presentation already visible below, though it is at a lower resolution).

3)  Lastly,  open in another window   http://jonesb2.podOmatic.com/entry/2007-05-11T07_39_39-07_00   On that page locate the Podcast link ‘Social Bookmarking - esp Delicious’.  This is the Podcast audio to accompany the Powerpoint / SlideShare.  Start the Podcast (it runs for around 45 mins) and adjust the volume.  Return to view the Powerpoint or SlideShare.  The audio should be running and you are now in charge of changing the slides at the appropriate prompts.

You can pause / stop at any time & go to the delicious sites, especially the play area where you can post some links, make notes & tags.

You are encouraged to post comments in the comment space below.

Yes, my voice is monotonous & the Powerpoint is basic.  But I am not Superman here, the theme is ICT & I am juggling the blog, powerpoint, SlideShare, PodOmatic & 3 Delicious sites to try to put the exercise together.  Hope you get something out of it!
