Closing Thoughts

Here are my responses to the questions posed by Bob and Andrea.

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
I liked re-discovering familiar tools, like RSS feeds and Delicious, and learning new ways to use them. I also liked finding out about ZohoWriter and Pandora.

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
This program has shown me how to use Web 2.0 tools to gather and organize information. I read my feeds more often, I'm getting more comfortable with blogging, and can even see myself creating a photo album and sharing pictures on Flickr. Most importantly, I got the opportunity to try some new things.

Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
I am surprised by how easy it is to blog. I can now see blogging as a way to share information and as a way to belong to a community.

What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
No suggestions for improvements. The program was fun and useful.

If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?
Absolutely. Thank you both for putting this together!
