Article Critique
Reflection
In my brief
experience working as the acting media specialist, or librarian, I have found it difficult to instruct a class on the new
and interesting technologies that the school offers. Their seems to be a lack of respect in my school for a person in my position,
therefore teaching a class becomes difficult. Many teachers feel that the media specialist is not a teacher and is just there
to check books out. There are the few teachers that do allow me to implement the wonderful programs we do offer to the students.
When teaching a class, the students are either in the media center or in the computer lab. Students are introduced to the
database and programs we have through a short lecture, then students are instructed to wonder through the website or database
looking for the information they need. I always end a class with an instructional handout for the students to refer back to
if they have forgotten something dealing with that particular site.
