-For the Hartzell Needs Assessment, I wasn't surprised to find that I predominately have a high need for achievement.  One thing to keep in mind is that I often like to take on the majority of the work in group situations because it can be difficult for me to place my achievement in someone else's hands, so for future collaboration, I need to be aware of that and make sure I am trusting the teacher to share the load with me. In addition, I'm someone who likes to make a plan and follow it, so I need to make sure I am remembering to be flexible and adaptable in a collaborative situation if things don't go according to my plan.
-I chose to do an infographic because I would like to print this out and have it hanging somewhere in the library (by my desk, on my office door, etc.). I would also like to email this to teachers and have an image they can refer back to easily.]]> 2020-02-06 14:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/441546101 Genna Holt https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/442207691 2020-02-07 15:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/442207691 Dawn Haney https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/442439997 Portrait of a Collaborator]]> 2020-02-07 22:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/442439997 Anne Capp https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/442590897 2020-02-08 21:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/442590897 Robert Voss https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443006396 2020-02-10 13:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443006396 Tami Allen tammie_allen https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443282705 2020-02-10 19:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443282705 Emily Eidson https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443346257 2020-02-10 21:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443346257 Whitney Chrisco wngrogan https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443347203 2020-02-10 21:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443347203 Faith Sturniolo https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443734162 This was my first time using Powtoons and enjoyed it. I've taken the myers-briggs assessment before, but as a young person I was always ENTJ. Now I'm INFJ. So, I've changed with age it would seem. I'm advocate instead of a commander. It makes sense with much of how I've dealt with my current position. However, I'm still ambitious. And when I found that achievement was my main motivation it made sense. If I feel I'm in an environment where I won't achieve, it makes sense I don't feel fulfilled. ]]> 2020-02-11 15:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443734162 Betsy Sumerford https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/443978443 We have some new student teachers who will be coming towards the end of this quarter and some new teachers starting in the fall, so I designed this infographic to go in  a little gift basket to say welcome! I plan on putting other little things in there--candy, school supplies, that kind of thing--along with a couple of scholastic dollars so they can start building their libraries. 
I was not at all surprised by my results for either personality test, but it really did make me think about my introversion. I think that generally speaking, school libraries are really not designed for introverts to thrive, and working on my approach is going to be key as I settle into my role. Taking the initiative to seek out collaboration is going to be an area that I need to actively work on! Though I love partnership projects once I'm in them, I don't always think to initiate.

-This assignment had me use  a new resource that I have not used before. Powtoon was a little hard to learn at first, but now I feel much more comfortable. So now I have another tool in my toolbox
-I have known about myself for awhile that I have become more introverted as I have become older. Which people don't always pick up on. I am also Achievement oriented. I know that I always try my hardest on everything but now I have a better word for it.
-I love the fact that another person used this in interview processes. I have a hard time selling myself and this is the perfect way for me to do that, without actually having to say anything. I would email this out to my future school to introduce myself

First time using Powtoon and will definitely use it again. These personality tests taught me a lot about my self, the good, the Okay and the ugly!! I love to talk, am outgoing, high need for achievement, when having a conversation may go off topic at bit a times (true very true), I also have a difficult time trusting that my co-workers will be able to complete a task well and constantly check their work even if they don't ask me to... (Let's just say that I'm working on that one and blame it on the fact that I'm the oldest of 5 ) but I digress. 
I think this video can be used to introduce myself to my co-workers  when I start a new job. Sort of share how I'm here and I'm not perfect but I know and I'm also willing to do whatever it takes to help them achieve their goals of helping students enjoy their learning experiences through collaboration and inquiry based learning.

I thought the Jung test results were spot on in describing my personality. It showed how I have difficulty delegating tasks. I have recently had an opportunity to apply using this information. I met with community leaders to advocate for the needs of our library. They asked me to come to a round table discussion with people/representation. I decided since I am an introvert to get some outgoing extroverts that share my vision on my team and collaborate together. ]]> 2020-02-12 23:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/444723152 Hannah Wilson hgwilson1 https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/444727403
I really enjoyed this project. It helped me plan out a way to communicate to teachers of my willingness and eagerness to collaborate. I've made "a call for collaboration" before through email, but I like how I was able to make a visual that hopefully will catch teachers' attention. I plan on sending this video out to staff and including it in our school staff weekly newsletter. 
The Jung personality test was helpful for me to reflect on strengths and weaknesses. It was spot on and hopefully can help remind me to build upon strengths and weaknesses.

The Hartzell Test results were similar in that the results for each category were about half and half EXCEPT for the middle category. I definitely do not have a need for power. ]]> 2020-02-13 00:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/444733084 Dana Hopper dlsenter https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/444737463 2020-02-13 00:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/PortraitOfACollaborator/wish/444737463
