W O N D E R L A N D

I fell through the rabbit hole into the virtual wonderland of web 2.0, and as it happened I did need the push. I want to thank the web 2.0 team for their guidance and the push!

My Favorite discoveries/exercises was one of the initial 20; creating a blog. I didn't think I wanted to and didn't think I had anything to say. More then anything else I enjoyed the expressions and creativity of other Sno-Isle blogsters. Diverse and thoughtful, sometimes raw and always entertaining, such smart cookies. Thanks for sharing!

I seem to favor the more entertaining tasks of streaming music and video and appreciate the pressure drop of finally using overdrive.

Remember that expression (was it a George Carlin?) "Life is just one big continuation school"? That is how I feel about how this has affected my lifelong learning goal within and without Sno-Isle. I can approach some subjects that were vague before with a modicum of experience and I can continue to expand my knowledge with the jump start these classes have allowed me.

I have been surprized by how much I have missed when using the internet and by how often I didn't challenge myself with "what does that mean"? I often saw references to RSS, podcast, wiki, apps, etc. but I paid them no mind. I have noticed an increase in my awareness level when visiting a site. The unexpected outcome is mentioned in my first paragraph; all the talented, mysterious, curious, colorful, enchanting others along the way.

Overall I thought the presentation, layout/format, support, expectations and time allowance was tangible and generous. I began with a slight case of intimidation and apprehension and yes, I would participate in another discovery program if offered. This one I will definitely file under Jamie's school of ALRIGHT!
