I made it!! I can hardly belive it! I really lost hope about Thing 7. I had to just let it all sit for awhile. Jumping ahead of what was troubling me helped renew my confidence and when I went back to Thing 9, it was no trouble at all!
What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey? My favorite discoveries were that I'm not the techno-idiot I thought I'd be! The Web 2.0 winners, #19, was my favorite exercise because I found so much good stuff! It's my favorite bookmark now at home.
*How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals? It's made me more confident online. Last night when I was working on getting Overdrive to work on my computer, instead of giving up, I kept at it. My husband and I even went out and bought an Ipod Touch over the weekend! I had been resisting this sort of things for years. Hey, my CD player still works! I still have records. Downloading songs into that thing was a blast! And I'm actually enjoying learning about all its other functionality.
*Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? Maybe that I did find so many things, in various formats, that I actually found useful and fun. And that I began to enjoy blogging! I'm a rather private person so this type of sharing at first was uncomfortable, but now it's no big deal.
*What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept? Access was the biggest issue. Even though we finally got permission to do this from City computers, that was not always successful. An example is the Youtube videos I have in my blog. From my city computer I cannot view these, I even get the message they are not available any more. But, when I access my blog from home I have no problems. It was MUCH easier just doing this from home! I know others who were having trouble making time to do this, and some items took a lot longer than others, especially if something was giving you fits! A longer period to get it all done wouldn't hurt.
And last but not least…*If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again choose to participate? It depends on what's going on in my life. I really wanted to get this completed before the end of February as my calendar just explodes with commitments after that! It also depends on the topic. I'm open to it.
