Week 6 Reflections

How would you describe this course to a colleague?
An introduction to Web 2.0 tools that provides you the opportunity to actually explore the tools and find ways they can help you in your job.

What was the best part of the course and why?
Having assignments using the tools was the best part of the course for me. I had heard about many of the tools and knew that they could help me in the library, but until the course, I never made the time to actually try them.

What will you take away from this course to use in your classroom?
I plan to use blogs and wikis in the library during the coming year to communicate with students and teachers. I'm sure I will incorporate other tools along the way.

What is one thing you would change about this course for the next group?
I think the course could be broken into a couple segments. A six week class has been a little bit long during the summer even though I enjoyed the learning. I can see there being more interest in a shorter course.

Would you recommend this course to anyone else? Why or why not?
Absolutely! I already have! Librarians in the district have discussed Web 2.0 tools. There is quite a bit of interest, but I think this course is a good way to jump in and try some of those things that we already know are great tools.
