Who's got the link?

Social bookmarking is a relatively new phenomenon.

The "social" part is we get to see how many others have marked that web link. In a del.icio.us account, if you click on the "saved by others" you can see who else saved the site. You click on their link to see what else they have saved. If I like A and you like A, maybe I'll like your Z!

It's a way to share information. Two technical colleges in Georgia have del.icio.us accounts. Check out North Metro Tech and Savannah Tech. We're collecting web links that will help our students succeed.

Number crunching

Reports, projects, and presentations all look "better" with graphs and charts.

World Data Analyst includes current and historical statistics on 217 countries of the world. Highlights of the database include the following:

----Country Snapshots--maps and statistics
----Country Comparisons--create tables and graphs comparing countries using recent and historical statistics
----Ranked Statistics--compare economic or population measures or significant geographic features

Users can use tools in the database to create tables and charts and export the information to a spreadsheet for data crunching and deeper analysis.

World Data Analyst is an Encyclopedia Britannica product available through GALILEO.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.

What do I want to be?

Students just beginning their program are encouraged to visit the
Georgia Careeer Information Center and take the interest survey and the skill survey. These free assessments tell the student where their interests and skills might best be used!

There is a GCIC user ID and password that you can get from either the NMTC Counselor, Kim Duff , or the Librarian!

Can access the site through the NMTC Web site collection (Guidance, Careers)

and through GALILEO (need the GALILEO password for home use) (Databases A-Z, Jump to G)

I took the surveys last spring and was told I should be a librarian. It made me smile!

Day 5

I lurk in the hallway outside of Room 124 waiting to start my session in SCT 100 (Introduction to Computers). This is my opportunity to reveal the wonders of using GALILEO! I talk to all 10 sections. Whoo-eee.

Moving Pictures

Last week I wrote about pictures being worth a thousand words.
