This has been a fascinating and exciting experience. I have learned so many new things that it is impossible to talk about them all. There are things that I will defnitely use in my library, and just as many things that I will use in my own personal life. I am excited about teaching these things to my colleagues and students in my school.
Some of my favorite things were creating my blog, Flickr, the RSS feeds, getting comfortable exploring sites such as YouTube and image generators, and using Rollyo. I have learned more in this tutorial than I ever would have on my own or even in a one-time workshop or class. It was perfect for me in terms of when I could work on it and how it was set up to lead us through the activities. I was amazed at how easy it was to navigate through most of these sites and activities.
I think that one of the things that surprised me the most about what I was learning, was that the activities had personal uses as well as library-related uses. I have never learned so much in so short a time as I have done here. I now have so many ideas for using these things in my library and in my personal life, that I barely know where to begin - but I am coming up with a plan.
I would keep the format of this program exactly as it is - it is the perfect way for busy librarians to get updated on the new and emerging technologies.
I would definitely take this course again, and if future ones are offered in a similar format, I will do those, also.
My comment: This program is the first amazing and wonderful step to revolutionizing my library so that we can serve the needs of our 21st century users.
