Welcome to my Blog

Hello visitors!
This is my blog that I am creating as part of a State Library of Victoria Training program.
I have deciced to call my blog Close the Gap , because maybe doing this will close the gap in my knowledge about Web 2.0.
MORE IMPORTANTLY :
Close the Gap is Australia's largest campaign to improve Indigenous Health. It involves both Indigenous and non-Indigenous organisations, including Oxfam Australia. The campaign calls on federal, state and territory governments to commit to closing the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a generation.

I am experimenting as I learn more along the way, and it is a bit of a journal of my learning . I have also decided to make it a bit of a chronicle of my almost all pervasive passion for Indigenous issues, literature, music, art and culture.

Flickr

My second blog is to let you know that I have created a Flickr account. But need to have a tea break now before I go on the desk. School Hols
I have been looking at some of the Flickr applications and thought that some of them would be good to use with teens in our Youth Program that we will be launching soon at Fitzroy Library. I checked out this link and found a psoter and ID Badge idea that might be fun to use with the kids in the program, but I need to play around with them a bit more to imagine how they might work. It would be good if the kids could design their own poster- the only problem is that we don't have a color printer on easy access- so I oiuld have to bea able to print them out later which might delay the instant gratification, but still there is some fun stuff that would be good to use with the kids.

I made a poster very quickly and ahve put it on my flickr page so if you go to the link you can have alook- its a bit goofy but just a play idea.
