Week 10 - Podcasts, videos and downloads

1. What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
To me, my favorite area of learning has been blogging. I like this concept and I can see how I can learn blogging as a learning tool.
2. How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals? I am more willing to take chances with the Internet. I am now going to continue working on my lifelong goals. I want to continue this experience and work on my skills and knowledge so that I can help others at the library. I want to be able to keep up with technology and be able to share these experiences with others at work.
3. Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? I think the concept of play to learn was very difficult to me. I didn't like working this into my "Work" schedule. This last post is done from home. I have done most of my blogging from "Work". The idea of play to learn is starting to sink in but I can see how others could take advantage of this concept. It was very difficult to work this into my schedule. But I am surprised that it's over for now. I really did enjoy this experience.
4. What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept? I enjoyed this program and I was able to complete this lesson. Keep the format as it is but some lessons could have been shorter. Some lessons were easier than others. I was able to do everything except lesson 9.
5. If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you chose to participate? Absolutely, I hope that we will continue to keep up with the concept of the library 2.0 or 3.0 or 4.0 library.

Youtube! I have to say that this Podcast website is exciting and totally cool. I refused to go to Youtube and seeing videos from the past was really crazy. I looked up Ozzie and other searches and had a wonderful time. I looked at political satire and laughed my head off. I decided not to upload a video on Youtube. I can see how people are sucked into surfing this site. That's probably why I don't go there. (Because I would waste a lot of time doing so) But I know that this can be a great learning site. I can see how we use this as a learning tool to help others, teach skills for example (beading lesson which I saw on Youtube) and how to repair books, etc.
