More technical and less social
So far this class is proving to be a struggle. I don't keep up a personal blog, and I hardly post on Facebook. I don't feel like I have significant content to offer. I thought from the description of this class that it would be more about the technical side of implementing solutions for libraries, and less about participating in them from the front end. I suppose this is my weakness. I like solving technical problems, but I usually work with people who handle the actual content. I just make it happen. So how does one develop a gift for gab?

Nat,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post. I, too, am struggling and am considering dropping the course. I have never taken any type of Maymester class and I knew it would be challenging, but I did not think it would be like this. I, too, thought we would learn about different technologies that libraries use. I guess, in a way, we are. However, this jump right in, trial by fire way is really difficult. I don't feel like we're being taught anything, we're just being told to do things. And, of course, when the computer program doesn't work or perform the way the professor says it should it's really frustrating. Hang in there. I guess I'll do the same.
Take care,
Lee
