Thing #24 - Learning 2.0 Thoughts

Wow! That was a lot to learn in what seems like a very short period of time. I get excited thinking about all the possibilities of using what I've gleaned from these exercises. I knew from the beginning that I would enjoy the discoveries but was a bit apprehensive about the public blog. Despite originally initiating this as an anonymous blog, most of you fellow LPLS bloggers have determined my identity and that's fine. It just seemed less intimidating to begin behind a mask. I have found that I like blogging. The other exercises that I like and know that I will continue to access are:

• Flickr mashups and 3rd party sites, especially FD Toys
• Tennessee Virtual Archive (TeVA) and the Nashville Public Library Digital Collection
• LibraryThing
• LPLS staff wiki
• Zoho Writer and Google Docs
• Facebook
• YouTube

Learning has always been something that I enjoy and these 24 Things have greatly accelerated my progress in becoming familiar with the tools available to us on the Internet. The greatest struggle throughout has been finding the time to explore everything and report my experience. That will be a continuing issue, but I am determined to pursue these Things further and incorporate their use into my routine.

Jerianne did a tremendous job in developing and administering this program. Thank you, Jerianne. I hope that we are able to do other similar ones in the future. If we do, I am all in.
