#23: Absolutely, the beginning...

This has been such a fabulous experience. I'm so glad that I completed this program for several reasons. Most importantly, I've learned the basics of these technologies. I've also discovered how I can use the various 'things' personally and for my job. It's also been interesting to find out how other libraries are implementing them.

My favorite discovery would have to be Facebook. I already have over 50 'Friends,' many of which are highschool classmates I haven't seen in over 15 years. I also plan to make use of Delicious, Zoho Writer, Flickr, IM, and well, probably most of the things I've learned about.

The only improvements I would make to this program is to make it a longer time frame and tell folks upfront that the 'things' get easier as they go along. I think many people started and dropped out, because it seemed like too much work, and they wouldn't be able to finish. Otherwise, the explanations and discovery exercises were excellent. I would definitely do another program like this. Thank you, Kam and CTLS!!
