Task 23 Week 9-- my thoughts on ACL Learning 2.0



Wow! So here I am, at the end of the road, the top of the mountain, the finish line-- whatever you want to call it. But it's not really the end, it's really the beginning, because I know for a fact that the things I've learnt will stay with me and continue to be very useful to me. Bloglines has become part of my daily routine (for personal and work uses), Facebook has reunited me with my distant counsins in England, and many other of the tools I've been introduced to will become a part of my weekly routine, both at home and at work. I will also be doing what I can to enhance our patrons' knowledge of these tools, and offer training in their use in my computer training sessions. I'm also planning on suggesting a wiki or two to my manager.

What can I say? ACL Learning 2.0 has been an incredibly valuable programme! I've been very impressed with the programme throughout-- the way I was introduced to new technologies and led through my discoveries with them, the positive feedback, the environment of sharing, and most of all the fun, because when it's fun to learn, you really learn it!

I've just completed my online survey (from home) and (to avoid withdrawal symptoms :-) ) I'm planning on taking a look at some of the other 43 things-- so thanks for the link to that.

I was hoping the lessons will remain at the http://elgar-acllearn.blogspot.com/ website (and I think the idea of putting them on our library website is a great idea!)-- I can see myself going back to them in the future, for refreshers, and for the links they provide. Please let me know if this is not the case, and I will pull together a file of my own for future reference.

GREAT work guys, and again, THANK YOU!
