I am so proud of myself! I did all 23 lessons in Learning 2.0. Some better than others, some more completely than others, but I gave all of them a serious try. I can see that there are a few of the new technologies that I am relatively comfortable with and I will continue to use them. Wikis and blogs are among these, and actually it was lots of fun to talk about Wikipedia and how to create wikis at Thanksgiving dinner with my college-age nephew and my 24 year old son and leave all the other old folks at the table wondering what the heck we were talking about!
I also love keeping my reading log on Library Thing, and I want to go back and play more with delicious. I see some real potential there. I like Whyville alot for preteens and want to introduce that site to some of my colleagues, and I like having the weather and other useful information show up automatically on my Google and Yahoo pages because of the RSS feeds lesson.
Second life I'd like to avoid (I have enough trouble maneuvering myself through my first life), and I doubt I'll use Flickr much, since I have a MAC at home and iPhoto does many of the same things.
On balance, this was a fantatic program, and I want to thank the library's administration for making this available to us, and Maura Deedy for guiding me along the way. Maura, you have been awesome; enthusiatic, informed and supportive (Maura deserves alot more than an MP3 player for her contribution!)
I hope we get to do something like this again.
