The last hurrah!

This has been a wonderful introduction to the new applications appearing on the web. What I particularly appreciated was the ability to work at my own pace and in my own space. Really good to see what others were doing also. In terms of what I enjoyed the most, the visual tools were the most fun for me as a visual person. Also, as I tend to prefer to use things that have immediate use and value, I don't "play" on the web at all. Although I won't be using all the tools in the future, this program introduced me to them so at least I can nod knowledgably when someone mentions a web tool.

The support from Lynette and her team was terrific. If only I had realised the great prizes on offer I might have put more effort in at the start! I found it very difficult to commit to the time required each week and should have blocked out 45mins as study time. I also found it odd that the original PCLMC program had 23 things, yet this program was rolled out in 9 weeks. Given my workload and that of my team, I think additional time or restructuring the program would be beneficial to enable learners of different abilities and commitment to working through the entire program. It would be interesting to know the number of staff who signed up and who didn't finish. I know that some of my team would be in this boat.

Overall, the program is terrific in terms of scope and content. To be able personally to study, but also to offer it to staff, in such a cost effective way is evidence of the worth of Web 2.0. I look forward to continuing my "playing" with the sites that I found most useful and also to continuing to discover Web 2.0 - and beyond!

Adios amigos!
