I really didn't think I would be able to get through the 23 things, because of time limits. It was a good learning experience. The most difficult part was setting up the different accounts.
Working through the exercises gave me a small window into understanding the huge scope of technology that we have access to! The younger generation, in particular, (including my kids) feel so comfortable in exploring the many aspects of this emerging techology.
I think this experience helps to equip me as a better library employee.
There are a number of areas I would like to pursue more: the libraries own Power Tools Page and Librarything. Also, an organization that I belong to recently started their own Blogspot - which I now will feel comfortable blogging on. Yeah!
There seems to be a good variety of audio books. The one that caught my eye was "When Your Kid Goes to College" - since I now have a son who is a college freshman.

You tube Symphony Orchestra

I was intigued by the Youtube Symphony Orchestra. I immediately thought of sharing it with my son and daughter - they both play cello.
My first post about the Web 2.0 Winners didn't save on my Learn and Play. I think the SpanishPod would be interesting to pursue
This is the first time I have had a chance to look at the library's Web 2.0 tool box. There are a number of interesting sites I'd like to research more.
Web 2.0 looks like a great resource - I briefly looked at SpanishPod. My goal in the next year is to learn some Spanish.
I'd liked to experiment more with Google Docs. I may be able to use it with my Volunteer committee.
