Week 10: #23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning...

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey? My favorite was FD Toys & Flickr….the possibilities with what you can do. How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals? I now feel as techno-savvy as the young customers that we serve or maybe not. There is so much out there that I still don’t know about and hopefully I can continue on learning. Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? I couldn't believe some of the videos on YouTube and what we can do with it. What ideas do you have for using these technologies at Harris County Public Library? What else do you want to learn about? What other web 2.0 applications are you interested in? These technologies are what our customers use daily, weekly, monthly, or occasionally. And we have to have the knowledge to help out customers with the new or newer or the newest technology that we know of. We probably cannot provide the technology, but we can tell the customers about it. I fully appreciate and understand that we need to be aware of what's out there and I'm certain that putting all of this together and monitoring it was a lot of work for many people, so thank you for that. I would like to thank all the iHCPL team who put this training together for us. The people behind the video productions, the writers of the discovery exercises, the people tracking our posts and who dutifully sent out the bling every week. It has been extremely the best and most useful training program I have participated in since I came to HCPL. This was the best and awesome! We just need to continue from here on…. This is not the end, but the beginning to better our self....we can learn each and everyday, there is no stoping on what and how we learn......
