Final Thoughts

to better organize this entry, I just copied the questions suggested on the 23 Things site:

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

The best part was discovering how easy it is to blog and add things to it, such as photos and video. I am thinking it would be fun to start doing blog posts on the growth and development of my daughter once she is born.

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

It encouraged me to explore the Web 2.0 tools that are out there. Even though I am tech-savvy, I have not had much time or interest to explore them. I don't know how many of them I will return to use, but it good to learn more about them.

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

It was great to see how creative many of the library staff became with this project. It was fun to see people get over their tech fears and learn more about these important tools.

What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
Because there are so many different sites and accounts created, it was hard to remember them all from week to week. It would have been good to find a way to build on them from week to week. For example, because we had to blog every week, it became second hand by the end of the program. Other tools when used for one week, just get forgotten afterward unless you found them truly interesting.

If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?

Yes!
