The End

What else should Learning 2.0 have covered? It's hard to say when this is all pretty new stuff to me, so I am pretty happy with what I've learned. I can't think of anything that I've heard about that you haven't touched on. And on that note, thank you to the whole team that put this together. It was great!

Getting so close to finishing kcls27things!

I am so near the end, I decided I needed to get back in and finish. I have checked out the Overdrive collection, and am looking forward to downloading books to my mp3 player that I will earn (if I finish)!

I have enjoying being introduced to a variety of different websites and features that I can use for a variety of things at work and at home. Some things I know I won't use, but at least I now know a little more about them and how they work - and what is available. Some of my favorite Learning 2.0 exercises were at the beginning - RSS, Bloglines, Flickr. Actually, I think those may have been my favorites because all of this was new to me. Later on we had exercises involving things I had heard about, seen, or used - Wikis, U-tube, podcasts, etc. But, that is just me. Some features I think are really good, but not sure if I will take the time to use them (i.e. librarything).

Most of the time I worked on my learning 2.0 at home, because it was hard to fit it in at work, even though we were encouraged to do so. As a result, a few times I would get stuck and there would be no one to help me. When I was stuck, I usually stayed "stuck" for too long and lost momentum. One thing that really slowed me down was the problem with Myspace - and that was their site problem apparently, not something I did wrong.

I would like to see some training in the future as new library-relevant technologies emerge. Maybe an email or something to introduce it to us and have us try a few exercises. If I could go back in time, knowing what Learning 2.0 is about, I would definitely take the time to do it.
