YouTube and TeacherTube are fun to explore, especially when there is plenty of time to spend on it. I looked at quite a few videos about the library but the one I chose to embed has a story to tell about our future in this chosen career path. It is a series of quotes about libraries and librarians and our roles in using technology. One quote essentially stated that if we aren't considered an expert in technology then we really don't have any business being a librarian. Ouch.
Don't let anyone discourage you from pursuing a career in school librarianship. Just by completing 23 things, you are leaps and bounds ahead of many librarians who have been in their jobs for years. The neat thing about our profession is that we get to learn new things almost daily from our students, from blogs/journals/websites we might subscribe to, and from each other!
