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.

google docs

Great application. Wonderful for organizations such as ours so that people can work on budgets etc. Great for people that have different systems, Mac vs. other. Enables people to work from home or the office.

wiki learning

I can see how it would be useful presenting up to date plans or programs while seeking input for ideas. A lot of potential for expansion of ideas.

web 2.0

Interesting to see the projections for the future. The speed at which changes occur is daunting for some. It certainly is exciting to think of how wide the horizons are for learning.

explore delicious

Had fun exploring this program. Has a lot of potential.

twitter

I don't like micro-blogging. Highly unlikely I'll pursue this.

My twitter username is mari55

Library thing

Exciting site. Many hours could be spent here.
Here's my link for my profile with the 5 books listed.

Had fun with letter James.com


feed searches

I really preferred the techno-- site. The syndi8 I found lacking.

rss feeds

Rss feeds can be wonderful things however, I can see where a lot of time would be lost exploring.

One of the hardest things for me to do is set aside time to work on something, hency my late arrival to the process. I find too much else to do or feel I shouldn't take time away from other things.
One of the easiest things for me is to set a goal. That's how I prioritize what I want to accomplish.

welcome to my blog

late comer to the race.
