MLIS professors focused on health library education are continually faced with challenge of preparing their students for personal and social media technology use for entering an ever more sophisticated professional workforce. The objective of this paper is to describe identified barriers and the instructional strategies to overcome them in order to facilitate technological agility for the MLIS students taking a health librarianship course (LS534) at the University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies (UA SLIS) between 2007 and 2012. "Technological agility" pertains to the capability of students to easily and invisibly ("without thinking about it") deploy networked personal and social technologies after course instruction on those technologies. Since 2007, students enrolled the LS 534 Health Librarianship course at UA SLIS have received course instruction pertaining to the required adoption and use of networked personal and social technologies interwoven into the context of the pedagogical goals and various assignments of the course. Additionally, each student was required to compose an informal two page description of their impressions of the use of these technologies. This paper will report on the types of required networked personal and social technologies required for the course and how they changed during the period of the study (2007-2012). Additionally, results of a content analysis of the student impressions assignment over the time period will be presented with particular interest in evaluating comments related to agility defined as ease of use and invisibility. Identified barriers to technological agility included the “why” question (why is this tool important?), reluctance in adopting technological innovation, and concerns relating to digital divide issues. Pedagogical methods included linking tool use to specific course communication needs, immersion after tool instruction, playful approach to interacting with technologies to minimize stress of adoption, and emphasis on importance of networked personal and social technologies in building distributed communities of colleagues. Also for those students who brought experience with personal technology and social media use to the course, stress was placed on the importance of understanding these technologies well enough to provide instruction on their use. Preparing technologically agile MLIS graduates requires an understanding of barriers to adoption and pedagogical strategies for addressing these barriers.

Today I spoke at the CASE (Council of Administrators of Special Education) conference. I was thrilled to have been asked to be a part of this conference and very much enjoyed sharing the exciting things that have been happening in Coquitlam. I based most of what I said on my "How UDL has changed my job" post and my "UDL Success" post. The most important messages I wanted people to take from my presentation were: ~Our appreciation to the vision of the Ministry of Education and SET BC for their role in bringing the UDL movement to BC. We are very excited to be a part of this shift in paradigm. ~That the timing of this project is perfectly timed with a change in the questions educators are asking about technology. In the past educators questioned "why" and "should we" use technology in education. Now educators are asking "what?" and "how?". Universal Design for Learning provides a framework within which teachers can make informed decisions about the use of technological tools to help students succeed at school ~The progress our students have made since we began the project and what we believe to be the reason for their success.
