Digital Technology is definitely a wheelhouse of mine. I have enjoyed learning about new and different technologies that I had not previously used, such as Animoto. I really liked creating the book trailer. It let me be creative and design something I was really proud of. The comic strips were a great way for me to incorporate into lessons for next year as well.
I really do not like twitter. It is a difficulty for me to use it specifically because I do not like it. That was the hardest part of this class for me.
The most beneficial part of this course for my students is just a general expansion of knowledge for me that will help me to create a better library program.
From the article, what really sticks with me is: “ the local community we wish to serve... We do not start with our trip [or our agenda]; we start with the people”. This is why I do what I do, without a doubt.
I have a love hate relationship with Twitter as well. I love it for the ideas I get and the information that can be shared but I dislike it for the time it takes out of my day to post. There are so many hashtags to include that I end up messing something up.
ReplyDeleteTwitter has a wealth of information available, but it is tricky to manage. Keeping up with all the new posts and constantly adding to your own posts is time consuming.
