Final Reflection
What a technology rich summer! I am so very excited to share and integrate all the new technology apps, programs, and tools we learned this summer with students and colleagues. Throughout the summer, as I was working on class work for this course, my daughters were so interested and curious about my technology assignments (especially the cartoons and comics). I can only imagine the excitement and enthusiasm I will see when I introduce technology assignments in the classroom. At our district, we do not receive very many technology trainings (because of funding), so I know my colleagues will also be very excited to learn and use new technology tools.
Blogs and Blog Readers- great tools to organize and find blogs of interest to you.
Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter- a teacher and a librarian can use Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to stay connected with students, teachers and parents. Social medias can also be excellent methods of creating professional learning communities.
Infographics- great resource to display important information and data with graphic visual representations. Students can use infographics to present research.
Screencasts- a digital recording of computer screen and audio narration. Screencasts can be placed on the library website to help patrons with library and research skills.
Videos and QR Codes- creating a book trailer was amazing. Book club students could create book trailers for the school library website. QR codes can be posted throughout the school and library for easy access to book trailers.
Cartoons and Comics- middle school students love comics and they are going to be so excited to create comic strips as an assignment.
Podcasts- digital audio files available on the Internet that can be used as academic instructional tools in the classroom and library.
Digital Storytelling- creating a digital book for the first time was a great experience using Book creator. Students can create digital books to present projects.
