It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

I am almost finished; I am so excited about that. After everything is said and done I'm sure I'll be slightly sad. It's been fun learning about different resources on the web that I didn't even know were there before and seeing how these technologies are affecting the world today. I think my favorite learning experince has been a tie between the mashups and the rolleyo search tool. I loved rolleyo because of the easy convinece and innovative practicality of being able to design your own search...and mashup sites are just fun to play around with. I think web 2.0 has affected my life long learning goals by showing me just how much there is out there to learn. I love the internet, and I use it constantly, and I had no idea that there were so many ways to make my utilization of the internet easier, more precise, etc. I think this program has also affected my life long learning goals by making me more aware of the cross over between certain areas of knowledge. I have used a wiki before, and have one of my own, but I never thought of a wiki as a tool to be used in libraries before this program. After playing around with the wiki exercise and seeing all of the different groups that use them to communicate I realized what a great idea it was. So I think that in the future I will increase the fields of knowledge that I apply to a situation even incorporating ones that I might not believe would apply to the situtation. This will make me a more effective employee, and I think a more effective thinker in general which is always a good thing.
