Final Reflection

Looking back on the content from this class, I wouldn’t say my views on technology in general for educational and programming uses have changed but have expanded. Before starting this class I believed that technology was a useful tool for working with children as they have grown up with and are most comfortable using technology, and delving deeper into useful applications has allowed me to have a broader knowledge base from which to draw. For working in a public library specifically, I often hear how surprised people are when it comes to libraries still being one of the most trafficked places in their communities, and a big part of that is a result of libraries adapting over the years to fit patrons’ growing use of digital technology.

Having open access to wifi and computers available to the public, not just library card holders, are services that benefit many diverse groups. That being said, having these options means the library workers need to answer questions and guide patrons who might not know or be able to use the computers as easily as others. Another aspect that encourages more people to come into the library is the different programs provided that use technology, from intro classes for senior citizens to teen sound recording workshops, all of which are set up in a way that will be most beneficial to those attending. This class has introduced me to new ideas and uses for technology which I am eager to start implementing to my work in the library.

Out of all the topics that were explored through this class, I think it will be the final one on AI (Artificial Intelligence) that will be most helpful in my line of work. For a while now I have been hesitant or even dismissive of the usefulness of AI programs for myself, as they always seemed to be more hostile than they were worth. But after spending some time this week looking at different AI programs I found some to be quite beneficial and even fun to use. So in this specific case, my views on the usefulness of AI technology have changed for the better.

Finally looking back at the GIF I used in my first blog post of the class, I definitely don’t feel the same as I did back then. I was partly nervous about getting into blogging again after not doing so for a few years, and partly nervous because whenever I start a new class and look at the syllabus it freaks me out a bit. I know as I am freaking out that it will inevitably not be as bad as my nerves are making the class out to be, but without fail it happens every single time. It was also the same thing with getting back into blogging, as I knew once I did a couple of posts I would be fine but the anxiety still gets the best of me. With the class coming to an end though, I can say I really liked the blog post assignments and overall the way the class was structured made it a lot less stressful.

Exploring AI: ChatGPT

Me and AI

When it comes to using AI or Artificial Intelligence, it was never something I actively sought out to use. Even being a smartphone user, I never got the hang of asking your phone questions and doing research for you, opening an app, or calling and texting you. It always seemed easier to do it myself and then I didn’t have to worry about the AI not understanding me correctly. Besides my Netflix, YouTube, and TikTok accounts which customize your viewing content for you, that was as far as I got to using AI products. For my younger siblings though, who range from 19 to 15, I constantly see them asking their phone questions or having the AI do tasks for them. Most of the time it takes just as long for them to get what they want from AI as it does for me to simply do it myself, so using the AI installed on my phone doesn’t seem to have a benefit for me.

ChatGPT

A couple of weeks ago though, I saw one of the librarians at my job using ChatGPT to create a fun Halloween questionnaire for our department’s staff. This was the first time I had actually seen ChatGPT being used, as before then I had only seen ads for it or heard about people using it. Until this point, much like with my phone’s AI, I had never been interested in learning about the AI chatbot. As I watched my coworker continue to make the questionnaire, the way the AI on ChatGPT started to interest me. Eventually, I had to go and do something else, but when given the opportunity to look into an AI tool, I decided to see how ChatGPT worked for myself. I looked at a few of the others available like Microsoft Copilot and Quick Draw with Google (which was actually really fun, you should check it out https://quickdraw.withgoogle.com/), but ChatGPT seemed like the one that would benefit me most in the library.

When I first got onto the website I was really sure what I wanted to ask the chatbot, and I kind of just sat there thinking for a while. Then I decided to see what it would do with a library question, so I asked it to: Make a children’s program for the library using media elements. Though the program idea it gave me was fairly simple, a story time with video elements, the chatbot gave me the full program proposal with time frames for each part, talking points, and options to fit each part. One of the parts that I liked the most was after showing children an animated story video, having them use tables to make their own short animated stories.

This led me to ask ChatGPT to give me more ideas about this part of the programming proposal. From there it gave me a lot of great apps and websites that could be used by children to help them make their multimedia story. Some of the suggested apps and websites I had used or heard of before, while others I hadn’t, and was pleased to be introduced to new programs I could use to engage young library patrons.

The final question I asked the chatbox was to come up with some writing prompts that would go well with multimedia and animated stories for the children. ChatGPT ended up giving me 15 writing prompts, and I was surprised by how the prompts could easily spark a child’s imagination and not to mention would look great as animated stories. Overall, I was surprised by how much I actually liked using the AI ChatGPT and could definitely see myself using it more in the future for my library job. 

My Digital Tattoo: Mining My Own Information on the Internet

A Digital Tattoo

Growing up with a father who had a computer security degree, and who taught coding and hacking at multiple colleges, I learned at a very young age to be careful how you use the internet. As I got older, I started wanting to use social media like many of my friends did and as a result, I started putting more of myself out there for people to see. Starting my freshman year of high school I got a Facebook account, a Twitter account, and a Tumblr account. Then in my twenties, I started to realize just how much social media and the internet as a whole can affect people's lives. This made me start to pull back on my usage by either deleting accounts or no longer posting on them, just keeping them around so I can stay informed on topics through multiple places. That being said though, the internet never really loses or forgets what you have done or posted, and as a result, there is most likely quite a lot of information about you that will never truly go away. Many people grew up hearing the phrase "your digital footprint," but as the internet has grown and developed it is really more like a "digital tattoo" which is far more permanent than a footprint that is eventually washed away. I took a deep dive into myself by searching different places on the internet to see what my digital tattoo tells about me.  

Results of Digital Mining Search
Microsoft Edge	Only Facebook profiles with the names Jordyn Spangler, LinkedIn, and White pages came up when I searched my name. When I looked up my nickname Jo with my last name only my Facebook page came up with something having to do with me. No other searches I tried came up with anything related to me.
Google Chrome	Using “Jordyn Spangler” besides coming up with Facebook results, it took until the fifth page of results for something about me to come up. First, it was a news release from Lewis University where I got my undergrad degree, talking about an award the literary magazine I was an editor for won. Also, there was a Twitter/X post from the school’s College of Fine Arts talking about graduating seniors where I am listed. White pages again popped up on this search engine. When I search “Jo Spangler” my book-to-screen adaptation blog written for the literary magazine I worked for comes up along with a picture of me.  Image Source: Screenshot from Google
Safari	The search results were fairly similar to the ones I got with Microsoft Edge, except my LinkedIn account did not show up.
Facebook https://www.facebook.com/jos11235	On the list of Jordyn (or Jordan) Spanglers I am 10th on the list under Jo Spangler (Jordyn). Without signing into a Facebook account it shows I work at Naperville Public Library as an Adult Services Associate. It shows a picture of my siblings and me as my banner photo and my current profile picture is of a stuffed cat Build-A-Bear I made with a shirt that says “My Weekend is All Booked!” (also has glasses, is wearing a jean skirt, and black leggings). I made the cat to match an outfit I often wear to work at my library. It also shows several of my previous profile pictures. Two of them have to do with previous universities I attended. Image Source: Screenshot from My Facebook Account Image Source: Screenshot from My Facebook Account
LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordyn-spangler-04265b179	My profile picture is my at work, if you zoomed in you could see movies and Cheshire Cat figurines in the background on my desk. The banner picture is a cropped version of my Facebook profile picture showing the cat’s arms and the shirt, showcasing the words ““My Weekend is All Booked!”. It shows my current employment, previous employment, universities I am attending or have attended. Also says I am in the Greater Chicagoland Area. Shows some posts I have liked.
Nuwber	It had my correct middle initial with my name and address at the top, but also had an outdated landline number and it has the wrong year of birth so it says I am a year younger than I am. It also has me flagged as having a traffic ticket, as I have had one speeding ticket that happened a few years ago. It states my current address and it has what the property was worth when it was made in 1990. As possible relatives, it comes up with my Dad, Step-Mom, my paternal grandparents in one section and then my mom, paternal grandmother, and father in a different section. It also has a list of 20 neighbors that currently or have in the past lived near my address, many of which I know to be accurate. It also says I have lived in River Grove, IL. There is also a box that comes up that says I am 53 even though at the top it incorrectly states I am 24. Under social media profiles, it says I use Facebook and LinkedIn. It states that I do not have a publicly available email address, even though another website found it. In my possible friends or associates list it includes my mother, my paternal aunt, and my paternal aunt's first ex-husband who I don’t think I have ever met.
Truthfinder	Came up with two hits which are both me but the first has my age at 53 and the second has my correct age at 25. The 53-year-old profile says that I have lived in Naperville, IL, and River Grove, IL, and has my Mom, Dad, Step-Mom, and my paternal grandparents as relatives. The one with my correct age says I have lived in Naperville, IL and River Grove, IL. It also says I lived in Chanhassen, MN where my aunt lives, but I never have. In my relatives section it includes my Dad, Stepmom, and my paternal grandparents, but leaves out my Mom. Image Source: Screenshot from Truthfinder
Zabasearch	Has my correct current address in Naperville, IL, and my past address at my childhood home in River Grove, IL. It also has my correct email and current phone number, but it also has two past landlines that are no longer active. As possible relatives, it comes up with my Mom, Dad, Stepmom, and my paternal grandparents.
PeopleFinders	It has my correct age, middle initial, current city I live in, and where I lived before. My paternal grandmother, father, and stepmother are also part of my family.
MyLife	Has my current age and date of birth, but it also had me living at my childhood address in River Grove, IL. In the “Family and Friends” part it didn’t include any of my family, just people that live in River Grove; the funny part though was that I did actually know a few people on that list. A lot of the other information on the website site that it seems to normally provide is blank.  Image Source: Screenshot from MyLife
Whitepages	Has my correct age, my current address, and the address I lived at in River Grove, IL. It also says I lived in Chanhassen, MN where my aunt lives but I never have. As possible relatives, it comes up with my Mom, Dad, Stepmom, my paternal grandparents, and 19-year-old sister. It also says for my work that I am a student at Leyden High School District 212, which I attended for my freshmen and sophomore years of high school. It has me living at my current address since 2016, that it has 3 bathrooms, the square feet, and what it was worth when it was made in 1990; all of which is true. It also has my stepmother is in her 40s and my grandmother is in her 70s which is true. Finally, it says I have one “associate” who is actually my stepfather, and it says he is in his 50s living in Orland Park, IL; which is all correct.

Reflecting On My Results

Overall I found this assignment to be really fun, and I thought it was kind of mindblowing the things different websites could find out about me. The craziest one for me was how it showed a connection to my aunt's ex-husband who she divorced before I was even born. Another thing that I found interesting regarding family connections was how my mom didn't always come up as my family or come up at all for me. I assume this is because we don't have the same last name and never have, whereas my stepmom does have the same last name as me and always came up as my family member. A surprising part for me was that on two different websites I came up as 53, so I wonder what information out there is getting mixed up with mine to create that. Another thing I thought was weird, was how it said I lived in Chanhassen, MN when I haven't but I have lived in Chicago, IL (I was also born there) and that never came up on any of my searches. As far as hobbies, unless you looked at my own accounts or my previous literary magazine's blog you won't find out a lot about what I like to do, and that is kind of comforting that at least with a basic search anything I didn't put out there myself isn't available. 

Accessibility for Library Patrons

Accessibility at the Library

At the library system I work for, accessibility for all patrons is something that all the employees take very seriously. We want to make sure the patrons have access to the materials and information they need or want. Throughout the year we do online trainings and then once a year we have a staff day that includes speakers who have valuable information on how to best help our patrons. This year’s staff day included presentations on Gender Inclusive Spaces, Autism in Libraries 101, and other great learning opportunities. As a public government building we are also ADA compliant, but we also try to go beyond just being compliant and actually being a space that is welcoming to those that may have different accessibility needs by assisting patrons whenever possible. Things as simple as not putting materials on the bottom row of shelves is feasible because of patrons with mobility issues, even if that results in less usable space, is a simple way we try to add accommodations. For more information on accessibility in libraries check out this report by the ALA.

My Strengths and Weaknesses

Where I think my strengths lie when it comes to accessibility, are with helping patrons find alternatives if what they need isn’t easily usable for them. This could be finding versions of a book that are in an audio format, large text, or ebooks which can be magnified on one's devices. This also comes into play if they are using the public computers and the information they need is not accessible to them for whatever reason, so I can help research alternative means of getting that information. On the other hand, I think a weakness of mine is when people call on the phone looking for information on the web because they are unable to come into the library and don’t have access to internet connection. As I am someone who is neurodivergent, understanding people on the phone can be hard for me and if a person is unable to completely communicate what they need, it can sometimes be an added restriction on me when it comes to assisting them in the manner I usually strive for.

Accessibility Infographic

Below is attached an infographic I made to exhibit 5 accessibility features that are available to use with Microsoft Windows PCs. I choose these specific devices because they are the computers that are provided for public use at the library I work at. As someone who works in the Adult and Teen Services Department, at least half of my desk time every week is spent helping people in the computer lab and as a result I think it is important for me to know what features are available to patrons. Out of all the features I point out on my infographic the one used most in my library is the magnification option, as many of our patrons are older and have vision difficulties. Though the others are available they are less likely to be used specifically on the public computers, but we do have patrons that come in to ask for assistance with setting up features on their personal devices. As many of the library workers are not IT (Information Technology) trained we still try our best to help when possible, especially when a patron has difficulties that can be accommodated by knowing what accessibility features are available on devices.

Copywrite and Fair Use In Libraries

In the Library

In a library setting, there are thousands of items that patrons have access to and use for a number of purposes. There are times though when patrons take their use of the materials too far, for instance trying to burn a whole CD or DVD so they have access to the content or photocopying most if not all of a book. These are times when librarians might have to step in and talk with the patron about what they are trying to get access to and how we can better help them. For some people, they might think that the librarians should just let this go and since we are letting people borrow free materials anyways what is the harm of letting someone copy whole items. This is because libraries and the people who work in them need to be aware of copyright and fair use laws to make sure our patrons don’t accidentally get in trouble. Here is a link to the Library Copyright Alliance’s website, if you want to learn about how copyright law can be used to enhance and not hinder library users’ experiences. For those who are unfamiliar with those terms let's take a look at what they are and why they are important. Below is also an infographic I created as a quick reference for learning about copyright and fair use.

Copyright

As soon as an original work is put into a tangible form, it is subject to the protection of copyright which protects the creators intellectual property. This means it can not be recreated or copied by someone else, without being at risk for some kind of consequence. Until a creator actually starts to produce their work though, in whatever form that takes, their idea or concept does not fall under copyright and therefore it could be used by someone else first. For when copyright law goes into affect here are two examples:

1. In schools no matter the grade level, the disregard of copyright is called plagiarism and can have serious effects on students’ academic futures. Plagiarism tend to happen most often with student papers, as that is when many are supposed to research a topic and write on it. Instead they might either copy somebody else's work in whole or in part (if they don't quote and site their sources correctly).
2. Outside of academia though this disregard, whether intentional or not, most often leads to legal action taking place. An example of this that happens quite often is when an artist releases a song, if another artist hears it and finds it is too similar to their own song for whatever reason, they can sue and let the justice system decide if it falls under copyright laws.

Fair Use Laws

Fair use laws allow the public to use copyrighted materials to a certain extent in order to create their own works that in some way transforms the original material. In most instances this takes the form of a commentary, criticism, or parody in response to said original work. This tends to look like book or movie reviews, reaction videos, comedic representations, or breakdowns. Whatever form they take, the person using copyrighted material needs to be aware of how much content they are using as in most cases it has to be less than 10% of content from the original. In libraries, workers have to be aware of this when it comes to doing their programming but also if they see patrons who seem to be not following these laws. Another reason why librarians should know this information is because many times they help students with projects and essays which require them to use examples or quotes from sources. As a result, they need to be able to example how sources can and can't be integrated into a student's assignment, so said student doesn't end up in trouble for plagiarism.

An Active Learning Strategy: Word of the Day

What is Active Learning

In education, it is essential to engage children in their own learning and encourage them to take an active role in the lessons being taught. This type of approach is called Active Learning and it helps students learn the class material through a number of different methods. Through active learning, students take a greater degree of responsibility for their own education, and often as a result are more likely to understand and remember what they are being taught. This is opposed to a more passive learning style, which just has the students listening to the teacher talk and/or copying a PowerPoint word for word. Here is a link to a website that has 15 examples of great active learning techniques and further breaks down the importance of active learning.

Word of the Day

The Word of the Day active learning strategy involves picking an important word from the lesson that day and working it into as many concepts as possible. Also, encourage the students to do this as well in their assignments throughout the day, so they are getting practice using the word and understanding it. This strategy is a great way to help students remember concepts that may be new for them and difficult to understand. It is also a good idea to have the word for that day up on the board, or another area of the class that is easily seen by the students, so they are constantly seeing it and therefore are more likely to use it and incorporate it in their work all day.

Image Source: Source Link

Examples of How to Use This Strategy

1. As a writing prompt give the students the word of the day and have them try to make a story around it.
2. If the word is used in one subject area, have the students see how many other ways it can be used in other subjects.
3. When first introducing the word, have students draw a picture about it or write out the definition of what they think the word means. Seeing how many students are familiar or unfamiliar with the word.
4. Have daily word of the day journals that the children write in, so they have their own little glossary of terms from the lessons and can refer to them while studying. These can include pictures, definitions in their own words, and examples they come up with themselves for how the word can be used.
5. Have the students act out or make a skit that has to do with the word of the day, incorporating some other active learning strategies.

List of Source for Word of the Day Materials

Below are three great resources for materials and other ideas to go along with this active learning strategy.

1. Julieanne Devlin Blog Post about Word of the Day Vocabulary
2. Teaching Channel Website Page on Word of the Day
3. Teaching With a Mountain View Word of the Day

Have I Ever Used This Strategy

I personally have not used the word of the day active learning strategy before, but I have seen teachers use it for their own classrooms. Even though I haven’t used it myself, I still really like it because it encourages the expanding vocabularies of children, which will help them not only in their education but also when they are out in the world. I found some of the examples of ways to include this strategy that I have used, and I found they worked well. I have used the one-word writing prompt before for children in writing clubs, and it is always fun to see what they come up with in their short stories. Also, I have used the draw-a-picture idea for after reading a chapter of a novel in book clubs I did with kids, to see what parts they liked best or were most interesting to them. Because the word of the day is a fairly simple strategy to use, I think there are numerous ways to incorporate it into a lesson plan, and it also complements other active learning strategies. It can also be transitioned quite easily to a library setting, as the word of the day could be something that a children's department uses as a fun daily lesson for when kids come in. At the children's services desk, there could be a board or display for the word of the day, and then a task that they can do to earn small prizes while also actively engaging in a learning opportunity.

Learning About How I Fit Into My PLN

What is a PLN

A PLN, Personal Learning Network, is a network of people and resources that support a teacher's ongoing learning. This can take many forms, from the people you work with every day to those you meet at conferences and seminars, even those that you only converse with through online forums. Though they are often thought about when it comes to teaching and those in the education world, PLNs can exist in all aspects of the various professions. Here is a great education blog I found that helps break down the history, importance of, and ways to expand your PLN.

Image Source: https://nicfair.co.uk/site/tag/pln/

What I Bring to My PLN

As someone in the library field, there are many ways my job interests with the education field so the many of the same principles that are a part of a teaching PLN shift naturally into one for a librarian. To understand what I brought to my PLN I took three personality quizzes, one to find out what my personality type is, and two about five of my different personality traits. Going through and answering the questions for each quiz was really interesting. Though I wasn’t necessarily surprised by any of them, it was surprising to see how similar or different the results from each test were from each other. From the tests, they told me I am someone who is hard working and always looking for new ideas to help me in my work. Whether they came from myself to help my PLN or the other way around I am someone who is constantly looking to learn and be open to new experiences. Going through each of the tests, I’ll explain in what ways they examined these things about me.

Image Source: https://thebeautifulchaos.blog/2023/08/11/intj-t-personality/

16 Personalities

The first quiz is about learning which of the 16 personalities you fit into, with the model focusing on four dichotomies which you can learn more about here on the 16 Personalities website. After answering their many questions, I was given the “Architect” personality type or INTJ-T. To understand what this means we need to break down what each letter in INTJ-T means. “I” stands for introversion, which is a trait that will be seen in my other tests as well and was not surprising at all to me. The next letter “N”, stands for Intuition which means I focus on patterns, possibilities, and future implications relating to processing information and problem-solving. “T” stands for thinking, which means I rely on objective analysis and thought in decision-making, with emotions playing a much smaller role. “J” is for judging as I prefer structure and planning in my work style, similar to what some might call a “Type A” personality. Finally the second “T” means my emotions are more turbulent and I fall more easily into stress and self-doubt. With all of these together it means I am a strategic thinker who is fiercely independent, open-minded, strong-willed, and imaginative and who is constantly looking for ways to self-improve. This is good in a PLN because that means I am more willing to go out on my own to look for or come up with new ideas to help not only myself but also those in my network.

FiveThirtyEight and Five-Factor Test

I am putting these two tests in the same section because, for the most part, they focus on the same five traits. For the FiveThirtyEight personality quiz, the different traits are Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Negative Emotions, and Extraversion. For the Five-Factor test, these are all the same but instead of Negative emotions, it is called Neuroticism. The questions for both tests were on the whole worded differently, but they amounted to the same ideas. As a result of this, my answers remained fairly consistent between the two, some values were higher or lower than their counterpart but I was always on the same side of the percentages. On both tests, my highest scores went to Openness to Experience and Agreeableness, which on the whole seem like good things to me as they seem like positive treats to bring to a PLN. My lowest scores on both were in Extraversion, meaning I am more introverted as had already been seen in my “Architect” personality type. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it just means I need to recharge after bigger or longer social interactions and can work just as well on my own as with others. Looking at Negative Emotionality and Neuroticism, are fairly similar and also correspond with the “T” for turbulent in the 16 personalities quiz. Finally for Conscientiousness, meaning how detail-oriented or a goal-getter I am, this was the biggest score difference between the two tests at 17%. This can most likely be attributed to the different wording of the questions for the two tests, and considering I still fall into the middle to high middle on each I think it still remains fairly accurate.

What I Want to Work On

Besides my own coworkers, I don’t have a very big PLN and I honestly have never been all that good at networking. This is most likely due to my introverted personality as I only really feel comfortable around the people I already know. That is why I would like to work on expanding my network of people and resources. The first part of this is going to happen on September 20th, as this is Staff Day for all three libraries in the library system I work for. Like I said, besides the coworkers at my own building I am not that familiar with those at the other two libraries. So what better way to expand my network than going to a day that is specifically for building connections between the librarians in my system. The next step in this plan is within the next month check out social media sites for places to connect virtually with more librarians, whether that be through Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, or another site. Finally, within the next 6 months, I want to at least have a plan to go to a library conference. I haven't been to one since May of this year, and I loved the last one that I went to. The conferences are a great way to learn what is going on in the library and book worlds, as well as learn about new ideas from other librarians who would be great to connect with. I know it will be hard for me to interact with new people, but I am a very determined person and once introductions happen I can usually make friends very easily, so I just need to focus on that.
