0Today I continued working on my WordPress training. I finished watching all the training videos and continued practicing with all the different options in WordPress. I started working on the quiz, and still have a few questions to finish up before I’m done with WordPress.
Folder Permission Test
0This is from an email I sent out last week…please follow the instructions below.
Folder permission should be completely fixed now, so you can either manually navigate to them or copy & paste the folder paths. Please test that you have access and the ability to open & save files. I created two test files in the folders below. Add your name to the file & save it, that way I know if any of you are still experiencing problems.
Shared Folder Test File: \\bufiles\group\IT\InstructionalTechnology\Student Workers\Student Folders\_Shared
Quick Guides Test File: \\bufiles\group\IT\InstructionalTechnology\Training Documents\__Final Quick Guides__

0Today I watched the Excel training videos on Atomic Learning. Then I worked on and completed my spreadsheet. I uploaded my spreadsheet to Moodle, there was one error I had on the frequency page but Marcus said that he thought there was an issue with the spreadsheet file, so I ignored it and kept working. I also read the file about helping MS 100/265 students. Then, I created my own WordPress website, and started watching videos to familiarize myself with the process.
Attendance Update
0I hope your first two week back at school and at Information Commons have been going well! We’ve had some questions about the attendance policy and some minor changes, so I wanted to just go over a three quick things. When you are unable to make a shift, there are two scenarios you need to follow when it comes to sending emails. I’ve outlined them separately below, and I will be updating them in our Handbook, but let me know if you have questions.
- Advance Notice
If you know in advance that you cannot make a shift, please send an email to me that includes the information below. I will then add your shift to the bids tab on the Google Doc. We ask that everyone check this document often and if you would like to take someone’s shift, email to let me know. As your bidded shift approaches, please check the Google doc to make sure it is covered. If no one has taken it for you, please send out an email to all the IC students, asking if anyone is able to take it. If no one is able to take your shift, documentation may be needed for the absence.
Who to email:
egillila@butler.edu (to put up shift)
All IC students (to remind if no one has taken your shift)
- Last Minute
If you have a last-minute reason why you cannot make a shift, please send an email to all the IC students, Tim Hommey, and Tim Thomas. You need to email everyone, since there is not time to put last minute shift bids on the Google Doc and so you can find a replacement. Include the same information in the email, unless for some reason you don’t want to fully disclose why you are missing your shift to everyone. In that case, send two separate emails to let the full time staff only know the reason.Who to email:
All IC students, thommey@butler.edu, tthomas1@butler.eduReminder:
You must be proactive about finding a replacement for Library shifts, therefore sending out one email may not be enough if no one responds. For CAT shifts, sending out the one email to everyone is enough.
- Information to Include in Email
Date, time, & location of shift
Reason for absence
The biggest change for returning students is that we should no longer be sending Chasadee attendance emails. We are trying to keep the number of emails she is receiving from us down, so in general, ask an Associate, Tim Hommey, or Tim Thomas. Please keep this email for future reference and feel free to ask any questions if I wasn’t clear. :0)
Thank you!

0Today was my second shift in the library! I got more in detail instructions about the duties of the desk from Ginny. I completed the LC Easy program and learned about reshelving books in the reference area. I also got my first phone call, and recorded it in LibStats.

0Today I worked on finishing my Moodle quiz, and then switched over to the instructor side of things. I went through the instructor checklist, and believe everything is completed. I also put a copy of my iMovie video in the Shared folder, which I now have access to! 🙂 \\bufiles\group\IT\InstructionalTechnology\Student Workers\Student Folders\_Shared\Video Files\iMovie Bios . My movie file should be in there with my name as the title, but let me know if there are any issues with finding the video. Near the end of my shift in CAT, I started reading up on the Excel training. I completed the basics quiz and am ready to start watching the training videos on Friday!

1Today, I worked for three hours in CAT. I worked on my iMovie project in JH048 and completed it after a couple hours. I started working on the iMovie checklist, but I wan’t completely sure about that process and what should be included. Then, I started working on Moodle training. I completed the fake assignment and uploaded a video. I did not finish the quiz yet, but I started working my way around Moodle to figure it out.

0Today I got started on my iMovie project and went through the power point and directions. I still don’t have access to the folders on my account so Erica had to send me the files. I also looked up some technology facts. I also worked in the library for my first time. Tim showed me around the desk and explained some things. I also read about some of the basic processes on LibGuides.

0Today I leaned about some of the basic processes I will be doing while working. I took a tour of the Center for Academic Technology and read the Information Commons Handbook. I completed my bio page and learned about some of the upcoming projects I will be working on.
