- Interviews of faculty to see how they use technology to support their classes, and students in response to technology in class.
- I read in one of the older newsletters that sometimes we hold contests for prizes. We could do a viral video contest to promote Butler.
- Meet the Info Commons Staff sections. Just a little bio blurb about who works here. Librarians too.
- An interesting fact section about Butler’s technology that makes everyday student life simpler. For example, I didn’t know until this summer about BUConnect. Some of my friends just recently found out about printsmart.butler.edu.
- Any articles about changes to technology at Butler. (New iPads, new software, new classroom technology).
- We find useful apps for college students, try them, rate them, and write a review.
- Calendar events section.

UNPLUGGED: DAY 3
Finally broke the blackout. Checked Facebook last night. As I assumed nothing new in my digital world had drastically changed; just a few messages from my friends. That being said, it was quite the experience of not having Facebook. Unfortunately most of my time that would have been spent on Facebook was spent in boredom wondering about what was happening on Facebook. I have learned a lesson through this: moderation. Some of the down time that I normally spend on Facebook didn’t necessarily go to more productive things. I spent the most part of my extra time on StumbleUpon. Which I suppose is kind of productive given that my interest include things about current events, politics, technology, etc. So the time that I would have used socializing was spent instead gaining knowledge. However, during this I noticed for example, that when I found a really interesting website I wanted to share it, obviously via Facebook.
