After taking this course I feel that even though I am proficient in using technology/ computers I learned a lot. I also learned that even though one may be tech savvy technology is constantly changing that educators must keep up with times whether that means taking class, or attending regular professional development. Taking LIS 629 has given me a better understanding on the different ways you can apply new Web 2.0 tools into your teaching whether it be in the library, classroom, or computer lab, etc.
LIS 629 has provided multiple uses of applications such as Google doc, and forms two of which I will continue to use in my profession. These two applications will be useful in my teachings because it will allow me to get feedback on my students, as well as observing all students participating in various collaborations. Also, in this course I learned about how social media has become increasingly popular in all professional/ nonprofessional fields. By using various forms of social medias allows you to network with others in your field, and learning what new ideas other are doing in their library, etc.
This course was not just a class for media specialist but, librarians and educators on the whole. It allows educators to become aware of all the different Web 2.0 tools that could be implemented in your teachings.
