I mentioned in an earlier post that I met up with an old student of mine, Lizzy Player, in Bangkok, Thailand. Mind you, I had a funny tummy and couldn’t stomach anything. So Lizzy and my husband got to indulge in Thai food while I attempted not to watch.
We still did a bit of a [...]

Since I have been reporting on Minzah’s experience at Urbis, I got to thinking about some other ideas for reporting how my past students are going. I think it’s excellent to hear about a current student, but even more worthwhile to hear how they have gone on their journey since they left my workplace.

My student (Minzah) has been moving right along with her learning, and a fair bit of it is self driven as I like to see my students become independent in the workplace. As this is what it will be like for them when they hit the real world.
Minzah was given a task to create an [...]

…has been a success. She has been involved in a range of activities. Many of them are self driven, which includes the library induction podcasting activity.
Today I showed her how to use our Wiki to ensure collaboration with Katy and myself with regards to filling in the gaps on her podcasting activity. Meaning, she can [...]

My RMIT student started today, and we eased her into life at Urbis. Katy showed her around the two floors, and introduced her to people on our own floor. Then she got her cataloguing, she’s right in there ! First day and picking up the tools.
