Final Thing

I was about two-thirds of the way through this course before it started coming together for me. The most helpful tool was Askaway. Actually using a blog in real life helped me to understand the concept better than completing a lesson.

The biggest problem was time!!! I know other people in our branch started Learning 2.0, but had to quit because they didn't have the time to finish. I managed to finish, but some lessons I had to rush through.

The first three lessons on being a lifelong learner I didn't find helpful. I would have preferred more background on the whole idea of creating communities online to provide context for the lessons.

Thanks for providing this opportunity for the staff to learn something new. And thanks for setting up Askaway. That is a great communication tool.

It took me two tries, but I opened an account and looked at some titles. I found "the Spy who came in from the Cold", but no James Thurber. When I get my MP3 player, I will try downloading a few titles.
