At last I have finished. Have had a bit of a race to get the course completed before my contract ran out! Here I am on my last day at work doing a quick blog to show that I have finished. Thank goodness for spell check!
I enjoyed doing the course, and found it very helpful. So thank you very much!! I found it so useful that I am considering doing the State Library's online course on the same subject so that I an consolidate this new knowledge, and maybe find out even more.
I expect to continue to use Delicious (love this application), Google Reader and RSS, Google Maps, and Facebook. I am looking forward to using LibriVox to find audio books for my daughter, and also Flickr to create a gallery of photos that can be viewed by friends overseas. It has also wetted my appetite to use these applications for my professional development. I have bookmarked on Delicious a whole range of articles to do with Libraries, for me to read at a later date.
I am surprised, and I guess astounded by how much interactivity there is in Web 2.0. That is the whole essence of it.. I guess.
The Program's format is fine. I was asked to explore each application, then to put my thoughts down into a blog. This forced me to thing about the application more and consolidated what I had learnt. I had no motivation problems, but did have trouble finishing it in time. Some of the the tasks were a little time consuming especially in the early days, when it was all new to me. Maybe the time period to finish the course could have been a little longer.
