Hey Guys,

What a year and a semester we have had. As the semester comes to a close this class has been very interesting and fun. I have a wealth of knowledge to carry with me as I continue my new career as a school librarian. I learned not to be afraid to try new technology and to embrace the digital changes. As librarians not only is it apart of our job to mange the books but we are next in line or on side of the technology specialists to help make sure technology is being integrated into the classroom. There was so much I did not know about the Edu Tech world and my eyes have really been opened. When I was a classroom teacher I always used YouTube videos attached to my lessons, but there is so more that can be incorporated into the lessons to make learning fun and 21st century.

The EduTech experts I have started to follow on Twitter I will continue to stay updated with their posts because I have learned so much from. I have never liked Twitter but following different people on different subject matters have proven to be quite useful.

The most difficult assignment for me I think turned out to be my best work, the infographic assignment.

Infographics are effective because they combine the written word with visual elements to pack big ideas into small spaces. Presenting information in such a compelling fashion encourages visitors to spend time on your site, consuming and sharing more of your content. A great benefit of using infographics for presentations is that they provides a simple and engaging means of illustrating data.

I can not wait to perfect the tools that I have learned to share them with the teaching staff and, integrate in my library. This upcoming school is going to be great because I feel like I have so many things to offer.
