#23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning ...

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
I think creating the actual blog and realising how easy this was to do was for me the greatest discovery. Also that a blog has a lot of similarities to a website but without all the difficult html formatting necessary to create it. Very user friendly.


How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
For me the program acquainted me with a lot of new technologies I would not other wise have familiarised myself with. Its provided me with a greater awareness of what is out there currently.

Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
The program has provided me with an insight into the various ways these technologies are being used, particularly how they can be utilised in a library setting. I especially found valuable the real life examples of how other library services were utilising the blog on their homepages to provide book reviews and inform patrons of upcoming programs at their local branch.


What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
Initially I found it a bit of a struggle doing all the technology side of things on my own but once I got into the swing of it found it a real learning experience discovering things for myself. I think the useful hints was most useful but sometimes this appeared too late for me. One week I was having problems uploading the pictures and this was due to unclear instructions which were remedied the week after in the useful hints section.

I had a great time and feel the program introduced me to lots of new technology and now I don't feel so in the dark with it all. Thanks a lot for this.
