Thanks for the brain candy
My favorite experiences in the course have been going through each different tool, reading, discussing, and thinking about practical ways to apply them to my library. I continue to be fascinated with delicious, for both personal and professional uses. Flickr is also one of my personal faves. Professionally, many of the tools can be useful but the one that has the most obvious potential at my library is the wiki.
Outcomes that surprised me -- I was surprised that I'm leaving the course with lower opinions of MySpace and Second Life. Although I think these tools are great to use in some libraries, I don't think that they would necessarily be successful at a rural community college with many first generation students. Maybe in a few years, but not as of yet.
Overall, I think the administrators of the course have done a fabulous job organizing every aspect. I liked the fact that the course included librarians from diverse types of libraries and the fact that they came from all over the place. Different perspectives broaden one's own perspective. So, thanks!
