Over the course of the past week you should have all had a session on Digital Literacy from either Sarah, Nic, Tom or myself. We really hope you enjoyed the session, as it was certainly good fun to teach and to see some of your reactions to what we spoke about!<\/p>\n<p>As promised, we can share a bit more material with you if you want to act on what we spoke about. The first thing to share is probably the slides, for those of you who wanted to have another look at those. These are available on SlideShare (incidentally a useful resource if any of you produce sessions or presentations you might want to share withe everyone!) and can be accessed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/TomDavidson15\/digital-literacy-undergraduate-introduction-58021510\">clicking here.<\/a>\u00a0You should be able to download them from there to have a look through, although we ask you let us know if you want to post them elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>We spoke about a couple of resources that you might find investing, so I thought it might be handy to provide you with links here for easy of access.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Evernote: A note taking service that is much nicer to work with than loads of Microsoft Word Documents, that also allows you to attach PowerPoints and then search notes. This is a really handy tool for revision as we mentioned in the session. <a href=\"https:\/\/evernote.com\/?var=c\">Access Evernote Here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>RefME: This is perfect tool to help with referencing in this increasingly Digital Age (did you like how I worked the title of your module in there?). RefME can build references straight from web addresses, stores them, and allows for each export into Microsoft Word, or other document editors. <a href=\"https:\/\/app.refme.com\/\">Access RefME Here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Canva: Don&#8217;t be intimidated by Canva! No one wants to use PhotoShop or other horrifically convoluted software to create lovely graphics and posters (as well as a lot more) so use Canva instead! Totally free and with a really nice drag and drop interface, you can&#8217;t really go wrong.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\"> Access Canva Here.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Prezi: We were aware of the irony of criticising PowerPoint while recommending a PowerPoint alternative, but Prezi honestly is brilliant if visuals are important to your presentation. While it can take some learning, it can be really powerful for creating not just presentations, but also other interactive content. <a href=\"https:\/\/prezi.com\/\">Access Prezi here.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>WordPress\/E-Folio: Although this is the most complex of the lot, it is also the most powerful. Using Southampton&#8217;s E-Folio service, you can create a really professional online portfolio of all your work (you don&#8217;t have to write regular blog posts) that can really help you stand out.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.efolio.soton.ac.uk\/login\/?currentPage=\/\">Access E-Folio Here.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>I know we also spoke about Twitter and LinkedIn, but I trust you can find those&#8230;!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hopefully some of you will find some of the services mentioned above useful, and if so please let us know! We plan to make recommendations of services a regular feature of this blog, if that&#8217;s something you will find useful.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, the blog. You all hopefully head our not-so-subtle plug for the blog at the end of the session. If you&#8217;re reading this on the blog now, thats great because it means you found it! If possible, make sure you tell everyone (and we do mean everyone) about it, since it would be really great to get lots of views and interaction on here! We also mentioned guest writers at the end of the session, so if this is something that interests any of you at all, please get in touch. It is a great way to build your portfolio online, become familiar with WordPress and to practise your writing.<\/p>\n<p>Anything else you want say about the Digital Literacy session please comment below, or drop me an email at tjd1g15@soton.ac.uk &#8211; cheers!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi guys!
