I came into this class thinking I was technologically savvy, but little did I know I was far from it. Our first few assignments included creating a blog and an infographic. I had never blogged before this class, only read them. Before this class I hadn't even heard of the word infographic! LIBS 602 has brought me out of my comfort zone and into the world of web logging, digital reflecting, and web 2.0 discovery.
Learning about makerspaces has really stuck with me and I have already created a place in my classroom for students to use as a designated makerspace. I have really enjoyed learning about each of the different multimedia tools in our sandbox and assignments. I also have already looked at my upcoming school year and have figured out how I can incorporate QR codes, video tools, and image tools into my instructional activities. I feel more confident not only in how I can integrate the web 2.0 tools in my classroom, but also in my future library, and I am very excited for what that future holds.
I have been exposed to so many media and web 2.0 tools that I didn't even know existed, and for that I am grateful. I am glad that I was wrong about what this class entailed and I am now looking forward to what's in store for the rest of the Library Science endorsement program!
I was also inspired by the makerspace and look forward to incorporating it into my classroom. If I ever get in to set up my room, I will be creating a space as well. Perhaps we can help each other in this endeavor over the next year??
