Is this the end of the road?

I am done yes. You heard correctly I finally finsihed. So you don't have to worry about being exposed to my long posts ever again! Yes. I am really proud of myself for finishing and I'm glad that I joined this program. I learned about a lot of new technology that I could use, and I learned about new ways to use technology that I already knew about. If I could suggest one single change it would be two impractical ones. One I would suggesst that there be scheduled times for at least 2/3 of library staff to work on web 2.0 together in a lab maybe an hour or two before the library opens. I know that it would be really hard to work out everyone's schedule that way but I think it would help to provide people a specific time to work on this. That way no one has to rush through it without getting the chance to fully explore (which happened to me once or twice). Besides that working with other staff is vital to this program I beleive. My co-workers probably deserve at least 50% of the credit for my having completed this program simply throught the assistance and tips they offered. Now whether or not they want to claim that is another story...But I think it would be really beneficial to give everyone who does this program in the future a defined time to work on it together. Beyond that the program was a huge success and I definately plan to play around with the things I learned more and make my blog acutally look nice. So it's been a fun, frustrating, and fruitful experience that I say was completely worth it even if I never get an mp3 player
