Reflection: Assignment 1


 * 1) ** What did you learn as you progressed through this assignment? **

I learned a few things as I progressed through this assignment. I learned about the librarian’s role in schools and their contribution to student achievement. I learned about what information literacy skills we’re teaching to students and how integrated instruction is carried out. This assignment was also practice using the mechanics and tools of power point.


 * 4. What did you find to be difficult? **

At first it was difficult to decide what I was going to say and how to convince parents that what librarians are doing is worthwhile when I was not exactly sure what school librarians did. Finding pictures was not a difficult process but is time consuming and it’s easy to get sidetracked looking through all the photos online. Also I noticed some of my spacing and alignments were lost in the shuffle from ppt to scribd to wiki.


 * 6. What will you do differently next time? **

Next time I will put a little more care in the craftsmanship. The pictures could have been better chosen, the design could have been better. I meant to vary the slides more by color and positioning. For instance I wanted to have some white background with black letters and to mix in more black background with white letters to provide some differentiation. I also wanted to vary the positions so it wasn’t always text on top above a picture but to have the picture or diagram to the side, above the text or in different places so it’s not all the same.


 * 7. Why do you think I developed this assignment? **

I think you developed this assignment with a dual purpose. First of all to give us a way to creatively express and deal with the information we’re learning in the first few weeks of class i.e. the role of the library and performance expectations of the librarian. The second purpose is for us to get some experience with the specific technologies such as wikis, scribd and power point.
