reflective exercise

Experiences with Learning 2.0
Overall, I'm glad that we had this opportunity to investigate some of the new technology.
Its nice to be able to know what some of these prgs actually do! And I like the fact that we could work at our own pace, and really individualize our blogs. There really were no right or wrong answers so the "grade factor" was never a part of the process.
I believe participating in Learning 2.0 makes us more cognizant of the fact that we are all lifelong learners and how important it is to stay open to that idea.
Some of my favorites exercises: youtube!, flickr, eaudio, even podcasts
Help was readily available from fellow employees and the infamous advocates.
Perhaps it would help to recognize that each application will require new sign-in identities and passwords and to keep it as simple and consistent as possible.
Yes, I 'd love to have similar training opportunites and would welcome the chance to participate. I'd love to see training for the use of digital cameras and downloading digital pictures.
I would skip the technorati exerise; too complex for my needs.
I would encourage everyone to use librarything and the podcasts too. I could see podcasts being used in a very practical way for library pages. Certainly as a way to present FAQs and promote events.

Thanks for giving us this opportunity to try a lot of new things! and of course the mp3 player was a great incentive!

Time for another blog post. Tell about one of your cats and post a book title that seems a logical or whimsical association--like something about gardening or first aid after telling about the plant scratches from searching for an errant kitty.
