The end is nigh; what a long trip!

The learning experience was rewarding as I got to explore things I would never have the time or interest in doing. The best thing about this program was the exposure to tools that are actually useful when they pertain to the work that we do. Highlights for me include; all aspects of Google – great tools that are useful and can make life easier, Delicious; the Ebscohost 2.0; all these tools opened up a new horizon to me.

I found some of the aspects of 2.0 facile such as blogging, Facebook, MySpace, Digg, Flickr - these are indicative of the current ‘me me me’ climate where popularity dictates content. Getting to know how they work was useful in the means to this end – but I’ll leave it to the kids.

It was difficult to get through the 23 things in context to the time that I could find to do it. Around work it was hard at first to allocate time to go through the tasks.

In summation; the program was not hard in itself; it was set out well and the instructions were clear; the only inhibiting factor was time alocation.

Over and out!

When I first started this task, bells started ringing! I have had a brush with library 2.0 just before I started 23 Things!

Soon as I saw Ebscohost 2.0, I remembered a training session on Mosby’s Nursing Consult database. I found the training interesting because we saw how this database acted on many levels; many functionalities were obtainable from the one place. Likewise with Ebscohost2.0.

This is certainly a good way of doing things as  2.0 can merge many elements into one! This is one common trait that is endemic to the whole 2.0 movement.
