Evidence of Professional Work -- Assignment 3: Typing of the Dead blog post

This assignment was a personal favourite of mine, and it showed my ability to talk about learning through doing something fun, which is something I see as a great skill in critiquing books, films, games and art. Too often these media are disregarded as mere entertainment, when really if you apply them to certain concepts they can be a great way for someone to learn something they might otherwise have been unwilling to engage in.

After this post was published, it went viral after catching the eye of John Birmingham and being linked on both his Twitter and Facebook page. The post received ~1,500 views.

This assignment relates largely to this core value:

Information literacy education, demonstrated by the ability to:

o    understand the need for information skills in the community;

o    facilitate the development of information literacy and the ability to critically evaluate information.
