Thing 11.5 - Evaluation

1. What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?

I would have to say Facebook was my favorite discovery and one that I will use personally. I have known about it for a long time, but just didn't investigate before this. I also think that making screencasts will be useful in my teaching. To explain how to do things on the computer once, rather than doing it personally over and over!

2. How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?

Like I mentioned before this class forced me to investigate Facebook. It will be something that I continue to use. I probably need to go and discovery My Space on my own. It seems that my students prefer that social networking site over Facebook, so I need to get familiar with it. I also needed to learn more about the I Touch since we are due to have a set of them in the near future. There is so much that students can do with them!


3. Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

The screencast programs were something I had never heard of before and I know will be useful to me in the future.


4. What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept? Each thing in this second part of Library 2.0 Tools take more time to investigate and create.

I think we should be given more credit! Also on the Microblogging Things, My Space should be investigated along with Facebook and Twitter. But all in all I had a good time and learned about many tools that I probably wouldn't have delved to on my own.
