Learning Experiences and Goals
| Most Memorable Learning Experience | I guess my best learning experiences have revolved around group involvement. It’s very interesting and eye-opening to work with all types of different people and come up with ideas that you wouldn’t have otherwise. |
| Online Learning | I appreciate the flexibility of online learning. I work two jobs and it is hard to find time for school, but the online environment makes it possible for me. The only downside is that I wish there could be more face to face interaction, but using apps like Zoom or making phone calls help with being more personable. |
| Learning Goals | I hope to learn more about library technology and the direction we are heading, so that I can apply this knowledge to my own library. |
