Final reflections

My favorite experience in the course was actually connecting with other librarians and getting to hear their thoughts and experiences and getting to share mine with them. Of course, learning about all the new technology was helpful as well. For my personal use, I found Flickr to be the most interesting; I had been on the site before because one of my friends posts all her pictures there, and so there are more pictures of my cats on the internet than there are of me. It was the site that I was the most unfamiliar with all the details of that I can now see how much fun it could be. And for my library's use, I think that wikis are the most applicable, along with blogs.

I would say I was most surprised by how much I didn't know- I'm not super high-tech, but people here at my high school always seem to think that I know a lot. I think it's more that I know where to look, rather than that I know about every website or something. So I definitely learned a lot about different software applications and technologies.

I don't know what to suggest for improvements; I think my main problem was that I got behind at the beginning- we had a major snowstorm right when I needed to get started on coursework, and we were out of school for a few days and I was away from a reliable internet connection. Then I tried to keep up with where we were wehn I got back, but I still knew I had to go back and get caught up.
