A final word

I realize that the semester is over, but I wanted to have a final word about the class. Our last class was spent sharing our action learning projects for the semester. I was amazed at the variety of projects that were presented. Some people completed teacher training, some people created wikis or webquests or web pages. It was so interesting to see the variety of work and it was exciting to see projects that represented work that would be ongoing and helpful beyond the scope of this one course.
I truly enjoyed the experience of this class and the new technologies to which I have been introduced. I have used delicious.com for my personal use, for class, and shared with the teachers at my sons' elementary school. I have also found a use for community walk with my church responsibilities. I have made a prezi for Dr. Nita's class. Now I know about wikis, podcasts, folksonomies, tagging, social networking, social bookmarking, playaways . . . I feel so much more in tune with what's out there in terms of technology. I still have a long way to go, but I am excited to keep going. I am the type of person that has a compulsion to share things with people--especially information or tools that I feel will be useful. This course has helped bring this to my attention and solidify in my mind that this choice to pursue a career as a librarian is the right one for me at this time.
