What's my purpose?

In other words, what would I like to get out of learning these "13 Things"?

I can see professional and personal uses for what we'll be learning in this course. For work, maybe I can use these tools to connect with current dental & dental hygiene students at UMKC. For example, a blog could be used as a "breaking news" area to alert students to new resources or services, and to redirect them to the location of those services (such as our web site or LibGuide pages). Personally, I can use a blog to let interested family members know of my latest discoveries in my family tree research, and it could also serve as a central point for updates on next summer's family reunion.

These are just some brief ideas on what i would like to do with the information learned through this course. I'm sure that other possibilities will take shape as I get more comfortable with each new feature.

my first post...

Hello, everyone. My name is Tracey Hughes, and I am the Instructional Resources Librarian at the UMKC School of Dentistry. I'm running a little behind on the class, but I'm looking forward to getting caught up. :-)

Creating this blog & first post was very easy; the directions provided were clear and easy to follow. The trick will be getting me to remember to use it, but hey, that's what this session is for! :-D

Peace,
Tracey.
