MEDIA SPECIALIST PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Before school started I met with the Media Specialists and AIG instructors for a day and a half technology workshop.  I have been assigned to work with the Media Specialilst all year and assist them technologically in any way that I can.  Their first assignment was to create a blog for their Media Centers.  This will be used to stay in touch with their principals, staff members, me and one another.  Next they created a screen cast of themselves reading a book review that they had written.  They used Screencast-o-matic.com to do this.  Once the screencast was completed they embedded it into their blogs using the embed code.  Finally they created a word cloud about a book in their collection using Wordle.net.  A .jpeg of this word cloud was also uploaded to their blogs.  In closing we had a discussion as to how they could share what they had learned and use it with the teachers and students at their schools.
