Reflections

A lot of what was covered in this program, I was already familiar with to some extent. My favorite segment was, unsurprisingly, the games section. The one I surprisingly didn't quite get was Second Life. It just seemed like a time-waster to me, as I couldn't figure out how to get anyplace interesting/relevant.

Since this program was put in place, I started blogging fairly regularly on the Marysville blog, but I'm not really sure that it's related as I was already familiar w/ blogs.

On a somewhat side note, I just recently joined Facebook. Again, not necessarily as a result of this program, but because I found that several people close to me are on it. Facebook is merely an extension of my off-line life.

I think that the value in this program was thinking of these various Web 2.0 tools as a suite. In other words, putting them together in my mind and thinking of their value in librarianship.
