Week 7, Reflective Blog

Because I am an elementary librarian, everything we've done this semester has lead me to think how I can use that particular technology in the library. For my technology project this week, I developed a podcast demonstrating to students how to use wordle.net to create a novel project illustrating their understanding of a particular novel. I created this project because it is actually something that I would like to do with my students. At the present time, we are very limited on what type of online activities our technology department will allow us to access, but with the support of my principal, I plan to discuss these types of activities with them in the very near future.

I don't think I view technology any differently now than I did at the beginning of this class, but I definitely feel more confident and encouraged to utilize them with my students. Whenever I think about technology, I remember the term "Digital Natives" from the journal article we read a few weeks ago, and it reminds me that as the campus librarian I can be a powerful advocate for providing access to educational technology for my students.
