My experience learning 27 things

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
This program has showed me many web programs that were new to me. It will be a start to be able to use new communicating tools that can help us provide better service to our patrons and get in touch with those patrons that do not come to our physical buildings. As for life long learning, I believe that there are always elements in life that will be helpful at work and outside of work to fulfill lifelong learning goals.

What were your favorite Learning 2.0 discoveries or exercises?
My favorite program was Flickr. It was very helpful and I used it for one of my projects in class. There are so many pictures out there. There are some truly great amateur photographers.
The funny parts like cyborg name and making my own southpark figure was a nice break from the hard work we were asked to do.

Did anything surprise you?
You can spent a lot of time on all web 2.0 things.

Was there enough help available when you needed it?
Did not need any help but did got some questions as an advocate and was able to help others.

What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
Some of the segments did take more than 20 minutes to complete. Dividing it up into more "things" might have been a possibility but that could be overwhelming too. I think the format was wonderful especially the site where all the classes were in just their heading was easy to navigate. very clear layout of the blog.

Would you like to see similar training opportunities as new library-relevant technologies emerge?
That would be a wonderful idea. All the advantages are to many to mention here but some are that we don't have to travel so far coming from the South end or the choices with blogs and podcasts that could make it into a class.

And, last one, if you could go back in time and tell yourself to either participate in the program or skip it, what would you do?
I would still participate. It was definitely worth my time.
