Building a Digital Identity
Using Social Media to Promote Your Academic Work
A Special Workshop Series for OISE Graduate Students
In Collaboration with the Office of Teaching Support at OISE (OTSO)
Instructor: Arif Anwar
Academics are increasingly shifting to digital and social media to promote their work and gain an advantage in the job market. Graduate students are no different. This workshop is geared towards graduate students and other academics who are interested in learning about digital and social media tools. Over the course of four weeks, this workshop will focus on progressive skill building in using social media tools such as Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and Academia.edu, and on providing an in-depth understanding of how search engines work. At the end of the four weeks, the participants should have a clear idea of how to leverage social and digital media tools to create a coherent digital identity, or a 'living CV'.

Winter 2011 Events [NEW!]
Elementary Schools and Teachers in Ontario, 1910-1915 and Today:
Collections in the OISE Library
Curious about how much an Ontario elementary teacher would have earned 100 years ago? What kind of teacher training new teachers would have received? What kind of textbooks students would have used? Or maybe you'd just like to see if you would have been able to pass a 1911 high school entrance exam!
Join Marian Press, Kathy Imrie, and Monique Flaccavento for a hands-on session as we explore materials from our Historical and Curriculum Resources Collections. Some of the differences between elementary schools and teachers between 1910 & 1915 and those of today will be illustrated using unique resources from our collection.
When? 12-1pm, February 24th
Where? The Ground Floor of the Library
Who? No need to sign up! The event is open to all University of Toronto students, staff, and faculty.
