If I were Steve…

I really learned a lot of practical, useful skills in the class. I honestly wouldn’t subtract anything (although I didn’t love the Sirsi/Dynix Institute videos, but only because they felt soooooo looooong). I hate to say this, because I could barely keep up with this class as it was, but I wish we learned vodcasting and screencasting this summer. I understand why we couldn’t fit it into the curriculum, but perhaps if the class was offered in an 8 week summer session we might have had time for it. Maybe Steve could give us 6 week students a chance to learn it on our own by upload the videos for us on iTunes so we can explore how to do vodcasting and screencasting after the class is over (please). I really don’t know enough about all of this stuff to know what could be added to the class or changed within it. Based on what I knew and now know, I feel like we’ve been run through the social software gamut. Thanks Steve, I’m glad to have had these experiences, and I really will use my new knowledge as a techno-friendly librarian!
