Thing #23 Yahooooooo!

Yippee! This is it. Thing 23! Shazam!
Here's what I think:
1. My favorite thing has to be this blog. What a great way to keep track of what has been accomplished and it's fun, too. I have also enjoyed reading other people's blogs. I enjoyed the library thing, too!
2. As far as life long learning goals, I would say this program has given me so much confidence with my computer skills. Am I a computer expert? Not at all, but I am much further down the computer road than I was when I started. Would I take another computer class like this? You bet. I really don't like the group computer class mentality. I am ALWAYS one of the people on step 1 in the class when everyone else is on step 13. I liked doing this at on my own time at my own speed. Plus, my eyes start to glaze over the minute someone mentions VPN's and USB ports.
3. Surprises? Take aways? I am overwhelmed with all the fancy stuff I can do! Me? With a blog? Me have a blog with an embedded video from YouTube? I didn't know what a podcast was last week and now I can whip you up one. (I might need 3 days and my husband might divorce me, but I can podcast, baby!)
4. One suggestion for improvement would be to include other examples of websites, blogs, etc., that have a broader interest to all educators. We all love our librarians, and I know this course was intended for them, but a little variety in the examples woul be nice. The only other thing that could have made this better would have been some complimentary snacks and drinks like we have at workshops at the ad. bldg. Maybe you guys could have a surprise snack squad that travels around and passes out snacks when you see us working online. Come on...that would be fun!!!
5. Yes, indeed I would do this type of course again. (especially if you take me up on the surprise snack squad!)
6. Library 2Play is a refreshing and easy way to learn alot of impressive tools you can use in real life on your computer!
So...this is it! I hope to keep on bloggin' from time to time..and MAYBE I can get the elementary counselor posse to jump on this blogging bandwagon. I have enjoyed almost every minute on the playground.
What fun! I am available for consultations on podcasts, but only if you really have no idea what you are doing. I would add my blog URL to my e-mail signature line if you offer another course on how to do it!!! (can someone walk me through it??)
