I am a librarian at Valley View North Elementary. I am excited to be taking this course. I waited all year to take it. I have been resistant to wikis, blogs and such thinking that they are just a trend; but I now can see that they are here to stay.
I see this technology being important to the education system. Social networking is one of those new jobs that was not anticipated a few years ago, but it is a real job that major companies are looking to hire people with these skills.
I anticipate that not only will I learn how to create my own blog, but how to create wikis and podcasts so that I can take this knowledge and use with my students. I have been toying with the idea of using blogs, wikis, and podcasts with the struggling students. I feel that this kill and drill technique is for the birds and as educators we need to find other methods to reach the struggline student.
