#23 The End

At least I think that I have finished everything. I guess it is up to Ellen to decide that. I certainly would do another discovery program like this. Just don't run itover the summer. July was really hard. The branch was busy and I would get started and then have to run out to the I Desk or pick up a call. Didn't make much progress until fall.

I didn't care much for the podcasts that were part of the learning exercise. They repeated the written information. Maybe they were there for the auditory learners, thats not me.

The only thing I didn't find successful was the tutorials that depended on screen shots of web pages. I find them blurry and hard to read. This maybe that I need new glasses.

I feel uneasy about the blog. One of my entries had a comment from an outside person. It sounded like a person who would bear special watching if they were in the building. I really didn't like that. I am going to skip blogging.

I love Bloglines. It's a great way to keep up with some favorite sites without having to remember to log into them. Without this program I would never have discovered it. I check it almost daily for book reviews, articles from interesting magazines the branch doesn't get and of course cartoons.

I also like The Library Thing, you could spend hours entering your titles and then checking their popularity, title suggestions etc.

I liked the fact that the program encouraged you to explore more deeply into programs that interested you. There were required activities but then you could take it further.
