Summary thoughts

This was a great opportunity for us to explore and discover and think about all that's possible. It was well constructed, with good explanations and tutorials. I had read about some of the concepts, but often felt overwhelmed by it all, and I never took the time to delve further. I would hear unfamiliar terms like "tag cloud" and "app" and "widget" and feel like an idiot. Now I want to take time to introduce my husband to some of the cool things I think he could use, and get my own computer at home to explore personal interests (don't want to share a computer with my husband anymore--it's too slow and full of his stuff, and it's so screwed up with viruses and who knows what else that it's currently at the computer hospital). I am now regularly using RSS feeds and a podcast for work related info.

I loved getting together with other staff across the library to share and explore certain things. I appreciate the fact that staff like Heather and Christie who knew all the things still kept their learning blogs and were so patient and willing to share their expertise and experiences with all of us. It's fascinating to see how others are employing the various things.
