Exercise 23

Ow! Ouch! Ow! (That's me hurting my arm patting myself on the back, turning myself black and blue.)

I am really glad I decided to participate is this program. And thanks to the "powers that be" (my supervisor and my director) for letting me.

1. What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey? This is hard to pin down. I think Flickr, RSS feeds and del.icio.us. In fact, I plan on going back and reinvestigating many of the exercises to learn even more and incorporate them into my daily activities.

2. How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals? It has furthered my goals by allowing me to explore things in a way that I probably wouldn't have taken the time for on my own.

3. Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? Not really. I still don't see any use for me personally in blogs or podcasting, but I do see now that they could be useful in keeping students up to date on library or college happenings.

4. What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept? I can't think of anything. I think the do it yourself pace and format was great for me. And some of the others seemed to like being able to pick and choose which step they performed when, although I liked going in the order they were presented.

And last but not least…
If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you choose to participate?That would be a resounding YES!!!
