My assessment of myself in technology has changed since the beginning of this course. I would say that my view of myself in technology is stronger now than when I started the class. I have learned many new, exciting Web 2.0 tools. I enjoyed making the QR codes and have started noticing and using them more with my phone. I thought that blogging might be difficult for me since I am a person that usually keeps most of my thoughts to myself. But I found it is very therapeutic for me in a time of my life that is filled with uncertainty and changes. Wikis seem to be harder for me to appreciate but I think they are a wonderful tool that can be used by librarians and teachers for class collaboration. Diigo was also something that I thought was a superior tool for combining favorites into one location. I tagged many of my old favorites from first grade for future reference there. The personal information space seemed a very practical way to be able to see all your Web 2.0 tools at one time.
I will have to keep up with these new innovations of technology through the internet. I think that my list serves will help as well as my memberships in state and national library associations will also be a benefit. Social networking and looking for librarian wikis and blogs will be helpful in staying up to date with technology too.
I do not have any specific plans for implementing this technology in an education setting at the moment since I am not teaching or employed at the present time. I would like to visit my daughter’s high school English classes and work with them on a project implementing something I have learned in 5720. There might be a chance with my mentor at the freshman campus library for me to work with some teachers on implementing some ideas.
