#23 Reflections on Learning 2.0

To my surprise, I have enjoyed learning the 23 things. I visited sites and used tools that I would have probably never discovered left to my own devices. I don't think that I am alone in putting off such things until tomorrow...

I feel better about myself, knowing that I completed the journey (in spite of finding it hard to fit in the professional development during work time) and persevered with the technologies even when obstacles appeared in my way. When I hear the words blogs, wikis and tagging, I no longer have to berate myself for not exploring the new technologies.

Of the things that I discovered along the way, I think that I had the most fun with YouTube, Flickr and the image generators even those these tools are probably the least applicable to work in a government library.

As for suggestions for improving the Learning 2.0 course, I have little to contribute. Recording my thoughts in the blog helped me to consolidate what I had learnt and achieved in these sessions. Adding the layer of instructions for ATO staff did get confusing sometimes but I figured that this added to the fun. At times, I realised that I hadn't followed the exercises to the letter because I had been distracted along the way but this added to the randomness of learning and I got to play a bit more with the different technologies.

Thanks for the learning experience.

Novice no more.
