Media Specialists & Technology in Schools
Andy and I have been interviewing applicants for a district-wide media specialist position the last 2 nights which is why I haven't been posting. Of course, one of the very important qualities we are looking for in our new media specialist is their knowledge and ability to integrate new technologies into instruction and facilitate teachers to do the same. We have been very impressed with several applicants' knowledge and the ease with which they talk about 2.0 tools that the two of us have just become aware of through this course. I know I am SO GLAD that I have taken this course and learned something about blogging, open course software, Google reader, and had at least "heard of" many other applications that I can't recall right now because I don't know them that well. For these "younger" people, technology is simply pervasive in their lives.

The course has been very useful. If nothing else it has helped my vocabulary as well. I hope that you have found a 'good' fit for your school. Just think of what else you will need to learn! WOW! It never stops and can be fun.
