To continue using technology in a proactive way and gain more recognition from the community on our innovative approaches to reach out, we are asking for ideas and even your time in helping script, read, act, videotape or edit both new podcasts and you-tube videos.
To generate some ideas and start the ball rolling I have thought of a few ideas I would love to see bloom!
Podcast
*What do students want from us?
1. Describe what the writing center does
2. Obtain a few common concerns from the "hope to accomplish" section of the session log
3. Interview a few students about their experience before/after
4. Interview a few consultants
5. Bridge the student expectation of a "grammar and spelling check" to generating ideas about his/her writing process.
*Chicago/Turabian Style
1. What's the difference?
2. What one should I use?
3. What are some good resources?
Youtube
*How to format title pages and headers for APA
How to add footnotes for Chicago
Other paper formatting issues
What ideas or suggestions would you like to see added to our technology of products?

Some of the last bullet-points look like they could turn into a set of tutorials on MS Word for college writers. There are plenty of guides on Word in general, but specific concerns for college writing could be approached. This also might be a good way to avoid spending valuable consultation time at a computer fuddling with formatting (yes, fuddling with formatting) since we could simply direct students to our online Word tutorials.
Those are all great suggestions. When reading this, I was thinking that maybe we can focus even more on publicizing our website (hey, were all on it, so it has to be awesome:)
If we publicize the website even more,we can give ourselves incentive to display updated things on in frequently. Perhaps from there, we can continue to develop the podcasts, and then publicize them as well. It may feel like we are running a public relations campaign, but I think that can really spread the word about our website.
