Reflections...

Well, I knew this day was coming but it came really fast. So, I guess my blog collects dust now? Sad. **sniff**

This was one of the most awesome things that KCLS has ever done in the way of training. It was fun and to me, it was low key. You got as much out of it as you put into it. I mean it's not like there was someone standing over you saying "come on, you have to finish this". A lot of the things we learned about I already knew and many things that we learned I didn't know. And how cool is this...we got to read about new technology and play online and get paid for it!

My favorite exercises were 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42...Oh wait those are the numbers from Lost! Oops. hehehe. No seriously, my favorite lessons were-

#3, setting up a blog for learning 2.0

#6, mash-ups

#7, RSS feeds you have saved me so much time!

#13, tags how did I ever live without them?

#14, Librarything...the more I run into people who are reading the more ideas I come up with for this site!

#19, reading about web 2.0 and finding the article I did on the web 3.0 was super interesting and put it in a sort of relevence and order in my head.

#20, FREE word processing online? FREE Spreadsheets? Did I say FREE! Who knew!?

#21, OK this one was just way to fun

#24, podcasts, I didn't realize how easy these were to make.

And a very cool thing happened. I got a comment to my post about Zoho from one of the guys over at Zoho! Nice surprise!

I guess the thing that surprised me about the whole process was how much my co-workers and I learned about each other and how we pooled our different spheres of knowledge to help each other out. Gotta love a team!

If I could go back in time...I wouldn't have missed it!

Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Here's looking at you kid." Rick in Casablanca
