Summarizing my thoughts

Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? Nothing really surprised me, but I am happy with what I learned.

What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
I thought the program itself was very educational and I can't think of any way to improve it, except to have less exercises and break it up more over a year or something.

If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?
I would, but again, I think 30 things is a bit overwhelming. I think mabye 10 things with 2 months every 6 months would be sufficient.

Library 2.0 experience

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
I learned many new things doing these "30 Things". I really liked learning about Flickr and blogging.

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
It has made me more aware of all the resources available on the internet. It has given me easier ways to catalog information and help customers.

Rollyo

I personally did not like Rollyo and can't see any use for me in the future. I did not find it user friendly or easy to navigate.

Library Thing

I have used Library Thing for my Information Needs of Young Adults class at FSU. I really like it and thing that it is a great way to check out new books and what other people are reading.

Here is the link to my Library Thing page:

Online Image Generator

One of the sites I visited for this exercise was The Generator Blog. On this blog there were many cool things, but the one that really caught my eye is getting my name in Chinese. It is up above! I liked this site a lot, but I was not so fond of the other ones, Letter James and FD Toys.

Podcasts and video

I watched "The Library Channel" on ASU website that I found on Google. What I did find frustrating about YouTube is that it keeps pausing. I think this is because of band width at the library. It just makes it harder to obtain the information from the site.

locating podcasts

I tried to watch the tutorial on Yahoo, but the link did not lead me anywhere. I do currently use Itunes and I can't see any personal reason to use anything else. With working with customers in the library it is nice to know where these are located so that they can use them at home.
