Thing 23 The End

This has been a fun and interesting journey, definitely worth my time since I understand much more about Web 2.0 tools, rather than just recognizing their names. To answer some of the questions:

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey? Flckr and del.ici.ous. I really like del.ici.ous, I can organize and retrieve sites in the way that makes sense to me.

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals? It gave me more options in chronicling my lifelong learning, ideas for ways to better communicate with family, friends, and co-workers.

Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? Some tasks were fun, some were useful, others were not useful (at least right now).

If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate? Yes.

Thank you for offering this to staff, and I look forward to seeing these tools incorporated into LCPL's services.

Thing 22 Audiobooks

I already have a NetLibrary account, so I looked at several categories of downloadable audiobooks. I am a history/historical fiction fan, so when I get my MP3 player I'll check out some of those.

Thing 21 Podcasts

I looked at several lists, didn't see anything of great interest right now. Not much time to play with this, maybe later.
