Task # 23 still not midnight but getting close....

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
I have an incredible fondness for my blog itself - before this I barely new what a blog was, and now my blog is winning me prizes (not that THAT had anything to do with it, really truly!) It's been great fun to create groovy images to make it more interesting. Must admit that I've tried to use my blog to do a bit of internal marketing for Learning 2.0 itself - thus the "don't panic" image that I've tried to change regularly. Otherwise I use flickr (which I had never used before) to upload photos from my mobile phone and have started using it to sort out my ridiculous collection of photos.
I do really like the whole wiki concept and look forward to spending some time making my new wiki pretty.... and useful.

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
I've loved it. honestly. It's made me feel as though I know more about what's out there and it's given me the confidence to explore new things - such as stumbleupon. I am always keen to learn new things but sometimes life races ahead and you just get lost in the day to day blahishness of life! learning 2.0 has given me the "prod" I needed to get into this stuff. yay.

Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
actually, yes. some of it's been a blow to the ego - I used to think I was relatively up to date but during the first couple of exercises I realised how dramatically out of date I was! This has been a positive thing for me as I;ve taken some extra time to explore. Otherwise, I've gathered lots of new ideas (Google Docs for housebound institutions, wikis for community groups, podcasts for council tours, etc.) which I am aiming to try and "sell".


What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
Great program - sorry, a little overly American in parts. Did anyone else find those podcasts a little wearing? Anyway, I'd like to thank the Learning 2.0 coordinators. I imagine that it was a labour of love, but like all labours I'd bet it was slightly painful during the birthing process! Thanks so much. And I love my digital photo frame.

And there's still so much to learn!!!
