The End: Summary

What to say . . . what to say . . .
I learned that I have a lot to learn. Even if I don't use some of the "THINGS" that were presented to me through this learning experience, at least I now know that these "THINGS" exist. That in itself is helpful in this day and age of technologicalness. I do hope to investigate some of these "THINGS" more thoroughly.

I did find some of the tutorials a little hard to follow and not really worth the amount of time involved to completely follow through with them. Others were enjoyable. I did find the program useful and would definately participate in another program like it in the future.

On a personal level . . .
Blogging would be a "no."
RSS feeds would be a "probably."
Cloud computing would be a "maybe."
Facebook would be a "definately."
Wikis - no, no, and no.
Flickr/Photo Sharing could be useful, so "yes."
Podcasting - don't know yet.
Instant Messaging would be a "yes."
Lifelong Learning is always a "yes."

As far as the Library goes . . .
All of these are important tools because technology is the future, and the Library must grow with the times in order to be relevant. We live in a world of instant communication. Patrons are becoming very accustomed to instant questions and answers.
