Thank You, Media Clerks

This post is long overdue. I want to share with all just how rewarding the Library Learning 2.0 for Media Clerks PST really was. We all agreed on our path, learning more about the Read/Write web, and were excited to learn new tools for sharing and enhancing our own learning. That we did. But, what I wasn’t expecting was the phenomenal affinity, communication, and sharing that this group experienced.

We all have the same job title, but our jobs are so different. We are all valued at different levels. We all have different comfort levels with technology and digital resources. But, in this classroom, we were all learners. We were frustrated, intrigued, ready to quit, and exuberant. We laughed and cried out in joy upon mastery of new skills. We all hung in there together. And, we learned a lot. It was exciting to see everyone’s blog develop into a personal platform and a great reflective journal of our learning journey. This professional study team turned into so much more – a valuable personal learning network. The conclusion of this class is not the end, but only a jumping off point to keep learning on our own.

This is my “hats off” to all the clerks who participated and all of their hard work for 12 weeks. Thanks for the new friendships and sharing your learning journeys. I look forward to our next professional study team endeavor.
