I think the best nugget that I got from this exercise was the Gutenberg Project information. I am so happy to know about this wonderful, free resource that I plan to utilize in the fall. Most of the exercises I was mostly familiar with, but I did learn some additional information about each step or tool. I will be adding the job search information to our library webpage. I really had never thought much about high school students needing help with job searches.Screencast-o-matic was another nugget that I discovered and will use with our students and teachers. I used Jing many years ago, but didn't like that the tool put that yellow sun thing on my desktop.
The exercises were aimed more at public libraries and I think having a class like this that focuses on the school library would be beneficial. Most of the tools apply to both, however the school library has a different focus that the public library.
