Through the introduction to library media programs from my SCSU education and my experience in the media center at my school, many of these competencies rang familiar, whether through direct instruction or my daily tasks and responsibilities.

"Consult and participate in the design of school facilities so that information and technology tools can be used"

This jumped out to me because we are currently in the middle of a major construction process. We have been so lucky to receive over 3 million dollars to update our "rec center" to create a CTE program facility, and I have involved myself with the effort. I want to find ways to integrate digital literacy, makerspaces, current technologies, etc. to encourage the association of the media center with this process, as well as to ensure the proper integration of technology to anticipate and accommodate the future of tech and media. I wasn't sure if this were within my responsibilities as a media specialist, but I am glad the challenge is worth the effort!

Demonstrating an ability to evaluate, select, and apply appropriate hardware, software and other resources is a challenge for me. I'm hoping to grow in this through this LMS certificate/licensure program!
