Final Reflection
I consider myself a tech savvy person but to be honest
I struggled on a few assignments. It was interesting to learn about the
applications and resources I can use in my future library. The applications that
excited me the most would definitely have to be screencast and comics. Although
I enjoyed all of the applications these two were new to me, which excited me. Learning
about creating a screencast was easy and I learned so many ways to use the
application in my library. Screencast is a great way to showcase web pages and
it was great to learn how easy it would be to use screencast to engage students
by having them create their own screencast. Learning about the comics I found
to be very interesting, I had never created an online comic and loved that it
could be used to in a variety of ways.
The most difficult for me would have to be using easel.ly
to create an infographic. I usually use Piktochart, but my partner and I decided
to use easel.ly because we could both work on the infographic simultaneously. We
had a lot of trouble using this application as it erased things and I found it
to not be very user friendly as Piktochart.
All the applications would benefit students in a variety
of ways but if I had to choose the ones the would most benefit I would say Animoto
and QR codes. Students would be able to create videos from book trailers to research
projects. Using applications like this would keep students engaged and excited
about learning.
This course has made me realize that as a future
librarian I must be well versed and aware of the latest technology
applications, software and programs available to our students and that there a
so many benefits of using technology in the library. From having students learn
with technology to promoting my library and its services.
