And in review.....

So, I already wrote about a few pre-post 27 things here.

I honestly think this has been one the most fun and useful programs KCLS has done. I'm already a fan of technology, but it was also a good way to inform less technical people about Web 2.0. My personal goal, always, is to keep learning as long as I am here on earth. I think everyone can always learn something new, even about subjects they know a great deal about to start with.

The Internet has already provided me with vast amounts of information of all kinds, from the highly valuable, to the useless but entertaining. Learning 2.0 has highlighted a few tools I hadn't paid much attention to in the past - RSS feeds, specifically.

I think my favorite exercises were learning about RSS feeds, and the fabulous generator exercise (I have gotten MILES of fun out of this). But I got something out of all of them.
Flickr was the most difficult for me, and highlighted the fact I need to read directions.

I found when I needed help my fellow staff members were happy to assist. As an advocate, I was happy to help them, too. I would have helped them anyway. Having so many of us as advocates made certain there was always someone available. That was excellent. The program flexibility made it convenient to use. There were a few weeks I was swamped, it was nice to know I could catch up at my own pace. I also liked the fact it was all online - there was no mandatory attendance at any in-person class.


As for the question if I could go back in time and do it all over again - yes. No doubt.

It was an excellent experience, and I am looking forward to we as a system incorporating some of the 27 things into library tools, for staff and patrons.

My only regret is the 27 THINGS inspired me to create even MORE blogs - I think I'm up to seven or eight now.
