Using SLV collections in the classroom

There are lots of ways to incorporate SLV resources into your teaching.

This is an example activity called ‘My Early Melbourne’ that shows how you can use SLV collection items and a free Web 2.0 application to create a classroom activity.




My Early Melbourne

Open the ‘My Early Melbourne picture list’ on your computer.

Go to Zoho notebook at: http://notebook.zoho.com

Login via Google using the following details:

Username: myearlymelbourne33 (for September 1st)

myearlymelbourne34 (September 15th)

Password: slveducation (for both groups)




Making a Web 2.0 activity

To build your own Web 2.0 activity:

• gather images for your chosen topic – if you are using images from the SLV catalogue you can just right-click on them and choose ‘Save image as. . .’

• save them to a central folder and resize them if necessary (using your chosen image program – you can just use a simple one, like the software that comes with most digital cameras)

• create a Google account at: https://www.google.com/accounts - this will allow you to sign into Zoho notebook without needing to enter your own email address




Making a Web 2.0 activity (cont’d)

• Go to Zoho Notebook at: http://notebook.zoho.com and choose then enter your Google account username and password.• Choose ‘Add image’ from the menu on the left

• Click on the ‘Upload’ tab then upload images from the folder you have created

• Create a ‘picture list’ as a Word document using these images and their bibliographic details




Making a Web 2.0 activity (cont’d)

• Give students the ‘picture list’ documents so they can choose the images they want to use in their notebook

• Get students to log on as a group, using the same username and password that you have created, and the images that you have uploaded will all be there

• Remember that students must rename their books when they log on to keep their work separate and saved in their name

• Ask students to add images and then create text boxes to give further information about what the image contains
