'MULTIMEDIA'???

The term multimedia is used frequently in discussing how/what to blog to get into the high marks band. You're partially marked on the 'level of care in the presentation' and 'use of ICT' within your blogs. What does this mean? Multimedia = a combination of images, hyperlinks, podcasts, videos, vodcasts, links lists and other blog tools, use of Facebook/YouTube et al for audience feedback/research/marketing etc. Level of care means taking time to appropriately illustrate posts, find useful hyperlinks to include [generally make a phrase into a hyperlink; don't just type 'here is a link:'!], and checking your links work, images have been properly embedded (always: save and upload, never copy/paste or drag in), posts don't have massive gaps/white space (if you place a lot of images in a post it can take some tweaking!). I try to apply these principles. Make your blogs at least as good as this one!

Accessing John for equipment + technical help

First of all please ensure you use the correct door for the staffroom, and do not enter the main staffroom itself. If John is not there, do not ask staff where he is, and, crucially, be quiet!!! There have been complaints from other staff. Try to give John advance notice of any requirements; to this end it would be useful to use John's email: john.cockshaw@ilkleygs.ngfl.ac.uk
