This weeks lectorial was split into two parts, in the first we were told about library researching techniques. At first I wasn’t sure if this lecture would be beneficial at all ~ how hard can searching a data base be??? We’re digital natives right?! ~ but it actually was. I learnt a few handy skills relevant to searching specifically the RMIT Library database, skills I will use when researching future assignments.

We also then talked about collaboration, in preparation – I assume – for our PB4 in which we will be required to work in groups to present a media portrait of an IDEA. We talked about what collaboration can achieve, the strengths and limitations of collaborating, some tips for creating effective and successful collaborative projects and some approaches to it.
