#23 Summarize your thoughts about this program and learn more about where to go from here

My favorite discoveries on this learning journey were that I was impressed how my fellow co workers all helped each other with various things as we all worked along. If someone was struggling someone else was willing to show them how to get through it, and that was team work. GOOD JOOOB!!!!!
I am not sure about life long learning goals. I have found more resources on the web than I had ever known to be out there. Maybe somewhere they may have been my goals. Not sure.
Some of the task were a little challenging than others. There were times when I wanted to give up, but I perservered and made it through, because I am not a quitter. I think If there was another program offered I would sign up. It was a lot of fun. It was also very interesting to discover new things .

Week 9: Podcasts, Video & Downloadable audio

I found youtube to be an easy site to navigate through. There were so many videos to choose from. I chose a video from the sixties because that is where my favorite music comes from. I wasn't aware of many videos that youtube had to display.

I looked at the podcast thing and I don't think it is for me. I tune out talking on the radio. It just doesn't grab my attention. I either need to have a two way conversation, or read things on my own to figure things out.

I have read about the downloadable books the library has to offer and also the other resources that are out there. I don't think that I will ever use these resources though. But now if someone I know asks me about it I am more informed than I was a couple of days ago.

Week 8: Online Applications & Tools

I found this site to be an interesting tool. Zoho Writer and Google Docs would be very useful if you didn't have a Microsoft Office Suite installed on your computer. I played around with this site and created test some documents. I was not up for the challenge of posting them though.
Web 2.0 Awards is an addicting site. I wanted to see what almost every link was about. There was almost something in every site that interested me.
