What I want out of this ID class

My goal, when I graduate with my MLIS, is become an Emerging Technology/Information Services Librarian. I am taking Instructional Design because the role of the librarian is changing in such a way that instruction is a regular part of the job description in libraries of all types. I am hoping that this class will make me more marketable when I begin looking for jobs.

Because I'm doing a practicum in the Reference Department this semester, I would like to do my big instructional design project on a Reference related instructional problem. I'm not really sure how to go about this though. I'm hoping that we will get a little more instruction on that front before I have to commit to an actual project. The technology aspect of this class scares me a little bit, but I have to admit that learning about some of the technology out there has been exciting. That has been an unexpected benefit to taking this class.

Christie... I think you're off to a good start. You have a broad area to start with, and I think we can work together to narrow it down.
