Peel Library's Wiki

The library is trying to live up to our motto....

To provide innovative services using current technology to support the teaching and learning programs at the campus.

However we are keen to do this by working smarter not just harder.

We therefore have been embracing the idea of using a wiki and the one chosen was

We have a private wiki which means that you have to be invited to join and see it unlike Wikipedia which everyone can see and change. We have all sorts of things on it like a shared calendar, communications page, information that needs to be loaded onto cataloguing pages and ClickView. Lots of our items on the wiki are actually links to other pages.

If you are not sure what it is all about then Check out the PBwiki tour!

Term 2 - Welcome Back

Hi everybody - hope you had a nice break and enjoyed Easter.

The library was reasonably quiet (compared to term time) but we still had 112 patrons during the 8 days we were open. These patrons consisted of 27 Mandurah Senior College students and staff, 22 Challenger TAFE students and staff, 55 Murdoch students and staff and 8 students from other Tertiary organisations.

Teaching and Learning Federation

Did you know that DET (Dept of Education and Training) gives all teachers access to electronic resources comprising resources from the Learning Federation, WestOne and CMIS recommended resources?

These are available directly from a portal on the DET Intranet.
http://intranet.det.wa.edu.au/resources/K12Resources/k-12-resources.asp

The types of resources include:
1. Interactive computer-based learning objects
2. Images, video and audio clips from national collections
3. Graphic organisers and tools to engage student thinking
4. Curriculum-related websites, print and other resources

These resources include specific items for Kindergarten to Yr 12 but there are also great introductory resources for many subjects. Schools and colleges must download the digital resource from the Intranet and network it or download to a PC for it to be utilised.

We would like to have any items that you choose loaded onto ClickView. However you may also decide to download them yourselves and have them accessed via the intranet.

Please advise us in the library if you want any title/s downloaded.
