Library Learning 2.0 Thing 30

Overall, this was a wonderful way to train many people at one time over a period of 12 weeks. (Actually a short time for this training). I think the incentive offered at the end (MP3 Player) was a great motivator for many of us. I believe many people who initially did this for the incentive did not expect to learn so much or realize how many useful resources this training was going to cover. I do think for upcoming trainings such as this ....that maybe to incorporate each activity into 1 blog per week instead of blogging after each activity. Initially, I did not realize how the blogging was set up. (I must admit, I was a little confused until I realized how it was set up). I had to go back and blog the activities I had missed which threw my numbering off on my blogger. Another thing I would like to suggest is to have a few demo trainings throughout after Thing 8. (Just a little reinforcement which many of us can grasp with the visual aid from the instructor). For example...have it in place of an LCDT or something to that effect. Perhaps you could have it in the auditorium at CL with a power point demo. Here, at my llibrary we were all very fortunate because our building Manager and our Supervisor were very supportive in helping all they could with answering questions and allocating a reserved spot in the computer lab for us to work on this project. Over all...it was fun, enjoyable, enlightening and the time went by quite quickly. It left me feeling more confident and more "caught up" with technology.
