The 23rd Thing

I find that I am sad to come to the end of this program. I have enjoyed it so much. I found that even on the weeks when I was not very confident about the assignment I still walked away knowing more than I did before.

Learning about computer applications has been a new experience for me. I have discovered that this type of learning requires a certain level of patience. I have learned that approaching these excercises with a calm demeanor and to not give up too quickly. Hopefully, I will continue these practices as I continue learning.

I also learned that learning can really be a collaborative process. On many of these exercises we worked as a team. Whenever someone caught on more quickly, that person might serve as teacher to the rest of us. Either way, we all shared in the learning process.

As for takeaways and outcomes, I feel that I can surely blame the Learning 2.0 team for my new addiction to bloglines. It has become one of my alltime favorite things.

Also, because I feel much more comfortable with many of these new technologies, I am hoping that it will make me more competent at the reference desk.

I am very happy that I can now speak about Library 2.o and actually kind of know what I am talking about. Previously, the term seemed a little nebulous to me.

I have been so pleased with this program. I would love it if we were to have more programs like this.

Thank you all very much!
