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.
