Goodbye! *sob*

Personally, I LOVE Flikr. I love taking photos and looking at them and making comments and sharing them! What a great concept!. Professionally, I think learning about wikis and more about del.icio.us will benefit me professionally. I never quite got the hang of RSS feeds, although I do understand their use.

  An unexpected outcome from this course was that I didn’t expect all this stuff to be so much FUN! I found it very interesting and although there is still a bit of a generation gap, I was glad to learn that the baby boomers are embracing this technology as well.

The only thing I would suggest to improve upon the program would be for the presenters and facilitators “dumb” things down a little. Be aware that not everyone knows what you are talking about. Many times during the presentations, words were being thrown around and I had no clue what they meant. Even though a word may be in your everyday vocabulary, it doesn’t mean it’s in everyone’s. And even if it is a word we’ve heard, we still might not know exactly what it is or what it can do. At least this is the way I felt. When I read to the younger grades I always stop when I come across a unfamiliar word and make sure they understand it.

  I am so glad that all of this information will be continue to be up. There is so much that I didn’t get a chance to do but still plan on doing. I signed up for so many things but still need much more time to play with my wiki, blog, Second Life account, and Flickr. I know what I’ll be doing this summer. A special thank you to Ellyssa, who never made me dumber than I was already feeling.
