Final Thoughts!

Final Thoughts:

• What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?

I liked this entire exercise. I not only liked the idea of having more than one thing to do, but knowing and being able to do them all at one time. I really enjoyed image generator and YouTube (of course). I will probably create class assignments in this format for my students. Each bit will be due by a certain date so that they can be more responsible and learn to effectively manage their time.

• How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?

I learned about some interesting new web 2.0 tools, podcasts, and even realized that blogging is not all that difficult. However, finding the time to keep up with and follow posts may be a different story.

• Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

I tended to get frustrated with bloglines, I often could not get it to work. I will be asking Francisco to help me out with that. I found that out by reading his blog. It is nice to follow others' blogs and learn about the experiences and difficulties that they encountered.

• What could I do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?

The only thing I would say is Thing 6. A class demo would be extremely helpful because most of us were having difficulty with that task.
