Method 12

These activities ended too quickly. I was just starting to get into this.

The section on blogs was the best exercise. I had a blog a long time ago, but stopped using. This activity reminded me of how fun they are and how personal they can be.

Perhaps the most important aspect of the program was that we were able to be hands-on in completing the tasks. Instead of just posting a lot of links for us to read through, we actually had to set up a blog, or listen to podcasts. This way, we have a leg-up if we decide to use these tools in our own libraries. When presenting the ideas to a library board or library director, it will be easier to actually pull up the sites in front of them and show that we have actual hands-on knowledge of how each tool works. This will definitely help when making proposals and suggesting tools that the library should begin using.

I wouldn't change anything about the program, and if offered, I would definitely participate in the next one.

Thanks for all the hard work!
