Smart Phone Apps (maybe highlight ones that help you get organized at the beginning of the semester)

Embed another video

• Rocky has been working on some Screenr videos about primo and our catalog.  Maybe we could even use one of the Screenr videos already made in CAT?  highlight a technology or something.  Then you can even write a snippet on it since we’re short on content anyways.  I’ll leave that up to your choosing.  Just upload the video to Youtube as well so you can have a merge code.  That might be better since last time they preferred one with more of an academic value.

What tech is new at Butler

Study Space Winner

Interview a Professor

1. Interviews of faculty to see how they use technology to support their classes, and students in response to technology in class.
2. 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.
3. Meet the Info Commons Staff sections. Just a little bio blurb about who works here. Librarians too.
4. 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.
5. Any articles about changes to technology at Butler. (New iPads, new software, new classroom technology).
6. We find useful apps for college students, try them, rate them, and write a review.
7. Calendar events section.
