Now that we finished the semester, consider your first assessment of your technology skills. What are your strengths and weaknesses now? How will you continue to learn about technology after this class is finished?
Strengths
- I know about many, many more Web 2.0 tools now than I did at the beginning of the semester!
- I have explored different ways that Web 2.0 tools can be used in a school library setting.
- I am eager to use the new technologies I have discovered and to learn about even more.
Weaknesses
- As I said in my first post on this topic, I feel overwhelmed by the amount of technology available these days. Ironically, the more tools that I have learned about in this class, the more I found out that I didn't know! I feel more overwhelmed than ever in some ways.
- It is hard for me to use my imagination and see how tools can be applied in different settings without first seeing examples. Many new technologies seem to me like they are just for fun.
After this class, I plan to remain "plugged-in" so to speak. I plan to seek out new technology via school library blogs, social media, and word of mouth with my colleagues. I understand now more than ever how important it is to remain up to date and knowledgeable about new technology.
