Thing 23.....Finished!

I have completed the 23 steps and I am so proud! I debated about even doing this and now I am so glad that I did. I have learned so much I can't even begin to tell you. Summarizing some of the highlights are Flickr, which I probably won't use in the future, but didn't even know that a sight like that existed. I am not too crazy about putting personal photos online. I was so impressed with Bloglines and all that it had to offer. I had no idea before I started this what a RSS feed even was, and now I couldn't be without it! For fun things, Online generators were a blast to experiment with. There were so many sites I explored, some good and some bad, but overall, I really enjoyed working with it. Of course, Youtube was fantastic. It amazes me how much is on it. Work related, I am not sure how much of it I will need to use. I think being a clerk, Microsoft word and excel would be useful. In conclusion, I would participate in something like this in the future if it was offered. It was a great learning experience for me and I loved it.

Thing 22

Ok, I registered with NetLibrary and checked out the YMCPL Link. I must say that E-books are not for me. I guess I am old-fashioned and I prefer to have my book in my hand to read it. I really don't even like Books on CD for the same reason. When I read, I enjoy relaxing and the page-tuning of a great book! On the plus side, I can see how people love it and I am glad there is something out there for everyone.

Thing 2 Con't

While reading through everything to make sure I have completed everything, I noticed that I never commented on the 7 1/2 things that were hardest and easiest. I think without a doubt that the hardest for me is "View problems as challenges". I like for everything to go smoothly and I hate bumps in the road. To me problems just take too much time to figure out. The easist for me is "accept responsibility for my own learning". I am the type of person who take responsibility for anything that I do or do not do.

Thing 21

I looked at several podcasts and subscribed to a Scrapbooking and card making one that had a RSS feed to my Bloglines. I am sure I will look at it often. The thing that I have learned about this exercise is that I have been listening to podcasts for a long time...i just didn't know that they were called Podcasts!! Oh well, you learn something new everyday, I guess.

Thing 20

I was already familiar with YouTube. We have seen many of the video clips at home on our computer. I think it is amazing that there are videos for almost everything you would want to see, from way back when to just a few minutes ago. Things hit Youtube in a matter of minutes. You are always "in the loop" if you check daily.! Another winner.

Thing 19

I loved this exercise. I literally spent hours looking at all of the different sites. I went to the Web 2.0 awards (short) list and went through most of them. It is so interesting that you get hooked. One thing leads to another and before you know it so much time has passed. I especially liked the medstory and miniwidgets, but all of them were awesome. The best part of this was that I actually knew what they were talking about. If I went to this at the beginning, I would not have had a clue. This is a great learning experience. A+

Love it
