Th-th-that's all for now...

Hard to believe we have reached the end of Library 2.0...at least this part of the challenge. I wasn't exactly a "shrinking violet" with technology, but this program gave me lots of confidence to investigate some new tech "stuff." I hope to maintain this momentum. I love the fact that my family thinks I am a "tech goddess", too.

While some of the topics and lessons were more interesting to me than others, there were several lessons that I really enjoyed. I enjoy the blogging and reading the blogs of my colleagues in this course. The RSS feeds have made it much easier to keep track of those blogs, too. There are some very creative and innovative folks out there in Blogland. Flickr has been particularly useful to me in both my personal and professional life. Most recently I was able to share pictures from our Dr. Seuss Birthday Party with all 130 of the guests. Can you imagine sending all those photos out to everyone? One of my favorite tools is Library Thing...I have already compiled quite a few books on my shelf. For now I am just using it for personal reading but am still trying to figure out a way to use it for reader's advisory.

One of the best parts of this experience was to see how everyone was so willing to try new things and share their results. We definitely had some fun! It did take me more time than I thought but I would do this course again. I am planning to revisit some of the lessons and sharpen some of these newly acquired tech skills! Kudos to the instructors for their efforts...thanks to everyone!
