danny? is this the end? of course not, it's only the beginning...

wowsa! ok, this really is the end of my learning 2.0 gig. here are my reflections- i didn't really have any lifelong learning goals until kcls gave them to me. however, once i did have them, yeah, it helped. loved to learn about all these new (to me, at least) programs floating out in cyberspace. not all of them, of course. my favorite ones, that i will continue to use well beyond learning 2.0 were (in no particular order) bloglines and rss feeds, myspace (which i already knew about), library thing, and youtube. what did i hate? wikis. i still tremble at the sound of the name! *tremble, tremble, tremble!*

i can't recall anything surprising me. okay, maybe it did surprise me when a few things didn't work like they were supposed to, but i suppose it shouldn't have. in a cyber world of broken links, incorrect instructions, and wikis *tremble, tremble, tremble!* it should just be a given.

i do not feel there was help readily available when i needed it. for the most part, just following the directions was enough for me in figuring out how to use the programs. i have a logical mind, so it was pretty simple. i would definitely love to have more training like this for in-house classes. and to borrow a thought from jenenevieve, it would be nice for those of us who don't like to drive all the way into issaquah for classes, if the system would bring some of the classes to our home branches.

if i could go back in time...well, to be honest, if i could figure out how to time travel, my attention would be on more important things besides learning 2.0. but yeah, if i happened to bump into myself, i might pass along a positive yee-hah and tell me to do it. oh, i forgot one other thing i really liked- blogging! i just may keep this one up. i can be pretty long winded and when everyone else is tired of listening to me, i could use this as a sounding board. yeah, that's a good idea!

aaaand finally, my last bit of blogging for learning 2.0- in my bloglines, under a few articles, they had options not only for adding to de.lic.ious, but also to "digg this!", "stumble it!", "submit to netscape", or "discuss on newsvine". learning one or more of those might be interesting. i just might...
