My students this term are writing a book each. We are focusing on the elements of a good story, and going through a step by step process to plan our story before we start writing. Last week and this week we are looking at characters in depth, and students are creating the characters they would like to include in their story using Voki. The Voki that I created to test out the process, and to communicate to my students along the way, is below:

Having a go at Metadata
We have been asked to have a go at coming up with what we think are the important data attributes for our textbook and for a given website (i.e. what we think people might use to try to locate it). I have a feeling this may be an interesting exercise - I wonder if what I think now would be different to what I would come up with at the end of this subject...
Firstly, a book (Hider, 2008):
Author
Year of publication
Title
Publisher
Colour of binding (if they remember that it was blue, but cannot remember what it was called)
ISBN
Overview of content
Key/tag words. In this case things like: information organisation, metadata, cataloguing, digital information resources, tagging, Web 2.0, Resource Description and Access, RDA, information retrieval systems, bibliographic description, bibliographic data, subject access, classification, standards, OPACs.
Secondly, a website (Handpress - I am not sure if it is intended that we analyse this page or the one it links to):
URL
Creator (changed from Author)
Title
Date most recently updated
Overview of content
Key/tag words. E.g. handpress, printing, presswork, books...
I am unsure as to whether I have completed this task correctly. I originally collected the actual information and included it with the aspects I had outlined, and I am not convinced that we are not supposed to do that, but at this point I think that will take time and not really teach me anything that I don't already know, so I will leave it as is and move onto the next activity.
