Relax? I will tonight when I watch Project Runway with a beer...Reflect? Okey dokey here goes...

Reflecting:

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
I loved the Flicker pages and just getting lost moving from one pic to the next.
I really liked the You Tube and I liked seeing how easy it is to make a blog and blog about it. Who knew?

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
Well, it has opened up a world to me that seemed very intimidating before, so i guess you taught this old girl a few new tricks and i feel more confident about technological changes, though I will never LOVE TECHNOLOGY like my hubby does!

Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
I guess I was surprised by my ability to do it! Also I was surprised by the websites and how un- userfriendly some of them were...you'd think they'd want to make it easier to attract more users. Takeaways? Well, a lot of it was just a whole lot of fun! My kids know I have an avatar now, ups my cool quotient...at least with a 7 and 9 year old!
What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
I would suggest buddying people up before they even log on for the first time, techies with non-techies to make it more of an ensured positive start and lessen the frustration and fear for those who don't take to all this as easily...?
If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?
It's hard to imagine right now to choose to take on an extended program, since we just now finished and I was late because I just couldn't fit it in with all the other projects and new reports we are doing and new CPI goals to meet, etc. But, well, yes...it is hard to pass up something that can be so transformative for an entire staff! Wow! Good Job to all those who created this for us...it was a lot of work I am sure, but you have really done a fantastic job.
