Final Thoughts on FWSL

  • What were your favorite experiences in the course?

My favorite experience in the course was the Wednesday chat.  We had a great group-covered serious topics, answered questions, and had a fair bit of fun banter. 

  • What technology did you find most interesting for your personal use? What technology did you think would be most useful professionally?

I found Flickr surprisingly interesting and fun (I had thought I wouldn't).  I actually see ideas for both personal and professional use.  I liked stumbling around with Wiki and REALLY appreciate the easy to use pbwiki platform.  I can see real potential for wiki in school settings.  Finally blogging might prove very useful in student input sites.

  • Were there any unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

Not really, because I went into it expecting to be surprised.  I liked learning wiki.  I'm still messing around with RSS.  And I'm still thinking about de.lici.ous...

  • What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?

No specific ideas.  I liked a lot about the format.  My only difficulty was an inability to access live broadcasts aired during worktimes (daytime).  Evenings were easy though!

  • If there is anything else you'd like to tell us about your experiences in this course, please feel free to do so.

No, but I'd recommend it to other librarians--some teachers also would enjoy it...

Thanks to all who organized and jumped in to participate.
