=[|Portrait of a Collaborator]=

Reflection on Assignment:
I was excited to be using a Web 2.0 tool to complete this assignment. I chose to do a Glogster for this project because I felt I felt it would show off my personal side more than some of the other tools. I love being able to use the colors that inspire me and being able to move my thoughts around easily from place to place. I played around with some of the other tools before deciding on this one. I have used Animoto in the past but did not feel that I had enough pictures showing my collaboration efforts to put together a solid product. This lesson taught me I need to be taking more pictures of myself and my staff as we work on projects together. I love the look of a Prezi but I need a LOT more practice on it before I feel I can use it effectively. The Jung Typology Test showed me that I am a INFJ. This means that I am great listener and have great vision when working with others. It is very important to me that I have a personal relationship with my colleagues. I enjoy interacting with them at school and also enjoy spending time with them away from work. I am a peace keeper who likes to make sure things run smoothly and negative confrontation is avoided. My personality allows me to get things done and help to keep members on task. One of the professions listed for my personality was a librarian! The Hartzell Needs Assessment showed me things that I already knew. The main one was that I do not have a need for power or control. I have served as a team leader on three different occasions. However, my main goal was not for the recognition but to improve personal relationships within the team. I have a high need for acceptance from my peers. I work better when I am facing a deadline. I believe this means that I will procrastinate at times but will always finish by the deadline. I also set high standards for myself. Therefore, I tend to expect them from other people. I love working as part of a team. I am blessed that my school district has one of the BEST and most inviting group of librarians to help me on the crazy road that I am this year.
