Discovery Exercise - Information Literacy

I really liked the music on this video. It supported the visual and was non-intrusive. The content was very good and helped to explain the steps of a research project. I learned to stick to the research question during every step of DISCOVERY and not go off in another direction. 

Two main points I liked were:  1. the need to be flexible. If an online search doesn't provide the needed information then keep trying. Either broaden or narrow the search. 2. Verify the information through other sources and check the authority of the sourcs.

Sometimes I do get lost in data smog so it was good to find a clear path through it. Information literacy here I come. Josie.

Draft

Pink

I finally made a new Flickr account after lots of nothing happeing. Creative Commons is ok but blogging takes a bit longer when we give the respectful acknowledgement.

These flowers are not fragrant but they grow well in our garden.
Uploaded to Flickr today and used in this blog.

A Different View of Sea Shells

Fun In The Garden

This is a terrific way to remember a visit to the beach. I found this image in Flickr after searching for sea shells. Josie

Career Philosophy

I found that I share a similar philosophy to Gretchen's. A successful life is as much about the process as the journey.  To often we are caught up by other people's agendas and loose momentum for our own lives. However I think we must be wary of overstretching ourselves since we have a limited amount of energy.  Our priorites are important.

Two men on a platform painting the hull of the ship HIMALAYA

This photograph was taken by David Moore. This is a silver gelatin print on semi-gloss fibre paper. Of this image, David Moore said 'Standing on the dock below HIMALAYA, I saw these Lascar seamen repainting the hull from a fragile plank support. With acrobatic balance and dexterity the painter placed the long-handled brush in the dangling paint can. Light is the photographer's closest ally and pictures can be created between the play of light and shadow. These strong diagonals make interesting shapes and the rivets appear as a pattern of stitches on a quilt of steel'. (page 36 Moore, D. 'Fifty Photographs', published by Chapter and Verse 2000). David Moore (1927-2003) was one of Australia's most respected photojournalists.

First post of the year

Hi everyone, I managed to get my new blog working today, Saturday.  I previously had a blogger account so I know a little about this. There have been some setting changes and I'm not familiar with them. There is plenty for me to learn in this exercise. Bye for now, Josie.
