feedback about 23 things of learn and play

This has been a good though at times frustrating experience. This style of learning is not my strong suit. I found it helpful to have another individual within range for clarification of some of the activites and navigating around them. I'm not a teck individual and don't spend a lot of time exploring on the computer. Its nice to be exposed to things like Library thing and delicious as well as flickr, podcasting, and Twitter.
Did I reach my goal? Yes. Would I participate again? I'd certainly try.

MOLDI

This is a site that I have explored before. I have not found a whole lot of books for which I'm interested but its worth checking back.

rss feed to bloglines

The podcast sites have the potential to explore a lot of catagories and topics.
A lot of time could be spent exploring. This is not something I would do a lot of at this time but its nice to know such things are available.

YouTube exercise

I viewed the YouTube video about the electoral college. This is a much nicer way to learn about it instead of a dry dust lecture. If you are a visual learner this is much better learning tool. I can see where you need to use some judgement and not just assume everything is accurate. How do you verify accuracy?
Homeschooling would be able to use this tool. I'm not sure I want to wade through various videos to figure out what to use though.

wiki sandbox

I don't know why this exercise was so time consuming for me or why I struggled so with adding the blogpost. I can see where this would be helpful for people making connections. or researching information.

cml toolbox

Looked at BookBurro. This site looks to be advantages for locating specific books outside of the cml systems. Save a lot of time when looking around. Has pricing for books which are available as well as locating what might be available in other libraries.

web 2.0 awards

With the limited exploration it appears that istats has potential. I could see it being useful for individuals working collaboratively from different locations for the wellness program.
