Review on technologies

It's about that time, where we evaluate our semester as a whole and discus what was liked and disliked. To tell you the truth, I was a bit petrified of this class in the beginning because I have been at a step back from technology. This class brought me back to the current level I should be at, and I enjoy it so very much! Even though it was a big struggle for me to get the hang of blogging and embedding codes from all different places, I had a blast. I can not believe how much technology was incorporated in this class! I am truly amazed when I look back and see my blog page as well as everyone else's. Amazing work! When i look back I do have to say that I now have some technology to be incorporating into my everyday teaching. The first thing I am going to start with is definitely QR codes. Gosh- I learned so many ways a QR code can be beneficial in the class as well as in the library. I want to promote book fairs and events going on in the library. Animoto will be used for my first days of school, open house, and even for the end of the school year videos. For my own personal use I am going to be keeping up with the website "goodreads" and "shelfari". Oh how I loved those sites! One thing I did have a bit of a problem was when I created infographics. Creating infographics was difficult only in the sense to input the information into pictures. The process is amazing though. You will clearly identify the knowledge the students gained from creating one. In conclusion, this has to be my favorite class so far in the MLS program. I was so scared at first to begin this technology journey, and now I'm finishing it with a smile and a tear.
