- What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
The exercises that I enjoyed the most were RSS, Library Thing, Blogging, Wikis, Flickr, Zoho Writer, and Podcast among others. In each of them I found technology that easily I could use at work as well as in my personal life.
For example, I am using Library Thing to catalog all the books that I have read during my lifetime (if I could remember all!!!). Adding my own tags to the already existing ones, helped me and other readers to understand some other topics inside the book not perceived by others.
- How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
I have always thought that life is and endless school, where I am the avid student eagering to set up new learning goals.
- Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
I have used flickr and You Tube before. Wikis was the big surprise. Just the fact of being able to create my own page is a big accomplishment. I like the idea to share, to edit and to add feeds to other published wikis.
- What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
Some frequently asked questions and answers should've been available for users. Perhaps online help from the coordinators would have been useful specially for those who were not computer savvy.
- And last but not least... If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?
Absolutely yes! These opportunities do not come everyday. It was an incredible experience for me!
