Final Thing
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.

Web Based Applications
I am creating a document using a web based application. Hmmm, is there anyone wtih enough time to look at this and edit it, so we get a feel for why this is useful in the real world? I can't think of anyone, the staff is pretty busy right now. So I will fo ahead and save and see if I can get back to it later.
Since I use Apple, I look forward to the day when people use this free software to share ideas, so I am not faced with attachments that are in Word that I can't open. I wonder if the Web based applications are more vulnerable to viruses than applications sstored on my computer at home. Logically, it seems like they would be. Someone evil could pretend to be your boss and sneak in and edit all your work! Still it would be nice to be able to use an application you don't use very often without paying full price for it. My husband works for IBM and they are trying to develop Web based software you could use for a fee.
