Technology Effectiveness - Reflect on the technology components you've selected. Why are they effective tools for addressing the learning need you've identified?

The blogging is important for students to communicate through writing on what their opinions are and for them to share their thoughts online. Photostory is the most important for the project since it reflects their ending with the photos that are given. The survey is also important because it helps the teacher evaluate the project and whether or not it was valuable to the students. Creating the wiki allows students to access every step online.

Concepts and ideas of Library 2.0 and participatory library service - based on your readings, class discussions, and in class assignments, discuss the social use of information, and the creation of online collaboration and communities via social networking tools and what this shift means for school libraries in the 21st Century.

Librarians as well as teachers can collaborate any time they want to. They do not have to be in school as well as in that particular setting. If someone thinks of an idea, they can share it with the world right at that moment and time.
Technology Issues - Identify at least one potential problem or concern associated with the technology you've selected.

Uploading a photostory to YouTube can take a while which therefore means that the results will not be posted immediately.

Collaboration Issues - How did collaboration contribute to (or hinder) the project's success?

Pam and I worked together nicely and shared our thoughts throughout the past two weeks. If anything, she has helped me to understand certains aspects of creating a photostory and how to erase the words with using the paint program. Thanks Pam!
