Let’s be real. Technology is like a cat.

Just like a cat loves to sit on your keyboard when you’re in the middle of typing, technology seems to love to shut down right when you need it most (which is kind of always in this day and age).

In light of that, my fellow TL’s-in-training and I have put together a Padlet board of ideas and strategies for how your students could learn about and help others with technology troubleshooting in the library and beyond.

Padlet board created by the “CONT 996 001 SUM21 The Teacher Librarian as a Technology Leader S21” class, facilitated by Jenny Chang.

Link to the full Padlet here: https://padlet.com/ycjc1/4e6yjgnq64ygu3bo.

3 ideas from the Padlet that I’m excited to try in my own library or classroom one day:

  1. Train up Tech Guides amongst students as a leadership role.
  2. Use a Buddy System in class so that students can ask each other for help.
  3. Create How-To videos, yourself or as a class.

Hope these come in handy!
