23 Things - Finale!

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?

I'm a mad Flickr fan now. I have found friends with hardly even trying by searching tags. I also got lost in Library Thing.


How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?

I have always had a positive feeling towards technology, but this exersize opened up a lot of possibilities. I will never learn it all, but finding out new things every day is pretty darn good. I love the idea of helping other people use these tools.

Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

I was surprised at the idea of a library based community wiki. What a great idea. I can see that being extremely rich with information sharing.

What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?

I think it was very well put together. I like working alone, but some people may prefer working on this project as a team, or maybe a cyber team. That could be interesting.

And last but not least…
If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?

Absolutely! I want to stay on top of new trends as much as possible.

How would you describe your learning experience in a few words or a few sentences, so we can share our successes and promote this program?

A fun way to explore new trends and expand your horizons!!

the possiblities are endless ....

Browsing the Web 2.0 awards list, I found my new fun explore place, Zillow! I have a weird hobby of browsing real estate. This site has so much more information than other real esate sites I've explored.

All the 2.0 award winners look interesting.

I enjoyed reading 'To a temporary place in time' by Wendy Shultz. It's all about connections and sharing information. I'm very excited that BCPL is working on staying abreast of the latest ways to do this. 23 Things has been a great exersize for me!!

Flickr

Well, I've been having fun with Flickr. I am familiar with Picture Trail, and that is where I normally post my online photos, but Flickr has some interesting options. I posted some photos of Andrea Shore's (PE) husband, Tony, winning the Sondheim award. I added some tags, and already someone has posted a comment. It is fun the way things start to link up. But can you use Flickr to post photos on other places, like MySpace or a BB? I tried to post a photo on my brother's MySpace, and it wouldn't work. Maybe you need to have a Pro account?? I will have to read more about Flickr. I will probably get a pro account anyway, and drop the Picture Trail account ... I certainly don't need two!

7 & 1/2

Like probably many people, I find it hard to accept problems as challenges. When I encounter a problem, I can get discouraged and start thinking I won't be able to deal with it. I have a hard time realizing what a good learning experience a problem can be until AFTER I have dealt with it. I may have better results dealing with problems if I can accept them as challenges from the start. I have an easy time with play. Who wouldn't? :-)

Tadaaaaaah!

I now have a blog
