Technology Training
This year as a new media specialist and taking this class I have experienced many new technologies that I have never used before. The focus of technology training that has been offered this year at my school has been about Infinite Campus. Lucky, for me I have not been impacted by this update. Our county updated right before school started. The first few weeks of school were a nightmare for most people in the county. The only problems this has caused for us in the library is student numbers not being updated into Destiny very quick. Teachers at my school feel like they are on technology overload this year. It seems like every other week I hear an announcement about technology training in the lab. I have heard many complaints about all of these changes. I don't dare try to offer the teachers an in-service dealing with technology this year. I think I will start with training the students on some of the new resources that I have learned in this class. I think students are always receptive to new technology. Personally I enjoy learning about new technology. Some of them I find easier and more beneficial than others.

I agree with the statement that teachers are on an overload when it comes to the changes with technology. I know that it will be always changing, but maybe it will slow down some, so people can get an handle on how to use it properly and effectively. The media center,however, must keep up with the changes as much as possible.
I have Infinite Campus too, and find it nerve racking. I dislike it very much. Do you suppose that someone will figure out how to make it more user friendly?
