#12 (week 5) Summarise your thoughts

HI! Well, yet again, I've really enjoyed my journey with Web 2.0 technologies. And it was interesting that in my final week I had a customer come in for a computer lesson who wanted 'advanced' internet training and I was able to introduce her to blogs, bloglines, Delicious, and give her a quick intro to the social sites, and she was blown away by the world it opened up for her. So that was really good confirmation that these things are valid to our customers' needs. And I'm sure I'll be telling people about Geni and Authors on the web, and the social sites.

I can also see how these technologies can useful to us in our work. I really liked the GoAnimate cartoon about lost library books-- a great way to communicate with kids-- and thought Animoto would be useful for creating short videos for promotions, training, etc.

Apart from the initial hiccup with Ancestry.com!! (which was fixed promptly at my suggestion) I found the whole programme flawless- well written, fast responses and well thought out. It was easy and interesting! And most of all I had fun learning. Well done!

What stood out for me-- I think probably Go Animate, because I really enjoyed making my own cartoon :-)

Thank you for this great experience!
