I had opportunity in my very last education class to talk to beginning GTL students. The purpose of the discussion was to present our online professional portfolios to them, so they can have an example of a completed one. Two enlightening moments:
1. Most I talked to had no idea what a teaching librarian was or what they would do!
2. I ended up spending most of my portfolio discussion time explaining the exciting role of teaching librarians, or, alternatively, demonstrating cool tech tools they could use. Sliderocket, Weebly, and Prezi were new to all the beginning GTL students.
As I review the discussion on being a technology advocate, I never realized how naturally I am one, or, how much I learned in the last 4 semesters. I believe that I will do well integrating tech into the media specialist position.
