Being organized, ontop of everything and full of new ideas are nearly just the icing on the cake of what libraria media specialists in schools cover. One of the main responsibilities of a librarian is to communicate and collaborate with anyone and everyone including teahcers, parents, staff, town, students, etc. Through creating/maintainng/redoing a website I now appreciate the teahcers and professors who always had their lesson plans, objectives, ideas and thoughts continually updated on their website.
When asking Peggy to update her website due to the fact it had not been updated for a bit and it was going to need to be redone for the upcoming school year I had way to many spots I wanted to start from. Using Inspiration as a tool to collect my thoughts was the best thing ever. From there I had a plan and direction of what the students and parents would need from me and what I wanted them to know.
Once getting onto the website and logging in it was a breeze from there. It was much easier then blogging, myspace or facebook from the beginning. You create, edit and adjust to whatever you like. One thing I did not like was not being able to add pictures I wanted of the actual library or students. It is in the protection of the school that the technology guy has to upload them so that there is permission and it being summer that can not be done right now. However, when he does get back it will be a point, click and up in one second!
This was a great project overall to getting us on our feet in some of our last classes to being librarians on our own!
