Assignment 1



__**Reflection Assignment 1**__ What I learned from this assignment is that children's librarians are extremely valuable. They are not simply a "librarian," there are many jobs that make up the role of a librarian. Librarians are, literature consultnats; as they aid children in decision makig skills pertianing to books and specific interests. Children's librarians are educators, performers, early childhood literacy teachers, as well as leaders. There was a significant amount of information pertaining to librarians and early chilhood literacy, the link between children academically later on in school and being introduced to books early on in their development is a strong relationship. I also learned how to make a powerpoint using only visual tools. This was the first time that I have done a powerpoint using no words, and I think the message of the powerpoint was conveyed in a much stronger way.
 * 1. What did you learn from this assignment?**

The only easy thing about this project was the layout of the presentation. Once I had my pictures, and the information that I was going to be imputting into the presentation it was quick. However, something that was difficult for me for this project was finding the right pictures to convey the message I wanted to send to my audience. I felt for this particular topic the pictures chosen had to "strong," and meaningful. I went back and forth so many times between pictures, as I would choose one that I liked and then I would get rid of it. It was extremely time consuming to find the right images to convery the right message.
 * 2. What did you find to be easy? What did you find to be difficult?**

One thing that I would do differently next time would be to make my powerpoint have a few more bells and whistles. I know that we were suspossed to keep it simple, and clean but I think a few effects could have enhanced the presentation. Additionally, I would have have all my images first before I began to orgaize the layout of my slides.
 * 3. What might you do differently next time?**
