Multimedia-Competency #7
This clever table, created by Wellington Grey, shows many of the most popular Web 2.0 applications. The table is broken up into categories including social networking, photo sharing, podcasts, aggregators, and other internet tools. This image was chosen, because one of the most vital roles as a future library media specialist is to facilitate the integration of technology into the school curriculum.

2. A Tale of Two Libraries: How Two Library Media Centers Seamlessly Integrate Curriculum, Information Literacy, and Technology (EJ726844)

Abstract:The author discusses how two library media centers seamlessly integrate curriculum, information literacy, and technology. Dale Hodges is a library chairperson, a role that carries clout in the William Floyd School District, where the library is a full-fledged department. Located on Long Island in New York, the district has eight schools, more than 10,000 students, and a remarkably vital library program. The power of the program stems from its single-minded focus: helping students succeed in their curricular units as measured by state and district standards. As such, all conversations between teachers and librarians start and end with curriculum--technology happens to be one of the tools that helps them achieve their goals. The way it works is simple enough. When a teacher has an idea that involves the library media center, Hodges meets with librarians to plan the lesson and suggest ways to integrate technology into it. For example, when an English teacher realized that her eighth graders lacked PowerPoint skills, she and the library staff created a lesson in which students wrote author reports and presented them in PowerPoint. "The students became very fluent in PowerPoint, effortlessly," Hodges says. "[The technology] became, all of a sudden, invisible to them."

Reflection: This strategy was extremely useful because most of the hits that were retrieved were perfectly relevant. I will definitely use this search strategy in the future.
