Thinking back to the beginning of this course, I was very intimidated and intrigued by the syllabus and that each week would reveal something new for us to learn and experiment with. While experiencing new learning tools and technology can be scary, most programs I was very pleased to learn were fun and easy to…

I decided to go the 3D printing route. I’ve always found 3D printing to be one of the coolest technological advantages of recent years. It is amazing how we can know 3D print heart valves and other body parts that can save people. The American Library Association lists many useful and engaging ways 3D printing…

For my virtual tour, I selected from Google’s Arts & Culture’s Natural History Category and then selected Dinosaurs. Obviously. I was so happy to learn that a big part of the virtual tour was about Iguanadons. If you haven’t seen Disney’s animated film Dinosaur you are missing out. The film is centered around an Iguanadon…

My special resources library choice was the library inside the Renaissance Academy. The Renaissance Academy offers alternate education programs for teens who are unable to attend public school. The high school and middle school libraries are connected by one office space the librarian called the “fishbowl.” Because this assignment is focusing on the special resources…

Admittedly this was my favorite place to visit. While this is not a library in a traditional sense, this is my special archives choice. As you probably remember from 9th grade English, Edgar Allen Poe was one of the most interesting writers of all time. I live less than three blocks from the museum in…
