Yes. I have learned so much. I feel that I have a new perspective on education. Before this program, I saw everything from a teacher's point of view. Now, I have learned how to see the bigger picture. Also, as a teacher, I am more aware of teaching information literacy in my classroom. I also am much more aware of the needs of my co-workers. Part of being a media specialist is collaborating with other teachers, and I now go out of my way to help meet the needs of other teachers.

I have become a more valuable employee, because I have gained new knowledge and skills. I have learned a lot about technology and resources to use when finding information. I have learned new strategies, such as the I-Search, which I can share with other teachers.

Yes. I feel that I have expanded my career options. I can work as a teacher or a media specialist. Also, the new skills that I have learned will make me more valuable to my employer, which may convince my employer to keep me in his/her employment.

I also feel like I am a better, more knowledgeable professional due to the program. If I am better at my job, I can provide for my family easier.
