Editor's Notes
- #2 Jane Need to keep the flow an pace going throughout Keep it informal Ensure that the students are contributing most
- #3 Jane Very short introduction to project and participants– two way knowledge exchange (10 mins max). It’s very important this its punchy and acts as a sale pitch to explain to the students what they will get out of the project and why they should come back to the next workshop! SADL aims Create a Student Ambassadors Network to explore the potential of this network for peer support Deliver four workshops for Student Ambassadors to improve their digital and information literacy abilities Seek advice and opinions from student ambassadors to ensure existing and new digital and information literacy resources are fit for purpose Share best practice on embedding digital and information literacies into the curriculum with the teaching and learning community at LSE.

- #6 Jane In pairs:- Each student introduces the other half of their pair to say their partner’s name, their degree, their year of study and shares something (e.g., what they are doing at the weekend, what they like to eat at 2am, what band they listened to when they were 10 etc.)
- #8 Jane Continuing on (possibly still in pairs) – keep the pace going… what skills (could be any skills) do you think are useful to support your studies – put the answers on post-it notes and bring them to the front of the room and start building clusters of skills consider differences between Statistics and Social Policy students Consider which skills are digital literacy, which are other literacies Use post it notes to put up on whiteboard (15 minutes) Or Wallwisher / Padlet: http://padlet.com/wall/7m0p540zbi Using post-its organise and define the skills and show how these skills will be covered by the project (10 minutes).
