Week 9: Thing #23

1. What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
I particularly liked the Flickr exercises. Images can be so powerful and having additional tools to manipulate them is fantastic. I spent a tremendous amount of time exploring the options in the Flickr toys.
2. How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
Most importantly, this program got me started on my blog and RSS feed. These were things I intended to do and it got me moving, and immediately using the additional features that I probably would not have gotten to on my own (avatars for example).
3. Were there any take-a-ways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
I was surprised at the ease of use of many of the tools that were presented. Most were very intuitive, leaving me feeling fairly accomplished, giving me a certain degree of confidence.
4. What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
I thought this program was VERY well done. I felt like there was a great balance of instruction and exploration. I never felt like I needed additional help - everything that I needed was provided for on the assignment page. It was very well thought-out.
5. If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you choose to participate?
Without a doubt, I would participate again in the future.
6. How would you describe your learning experience in ONE WORD or in ONE SENTENCE, so we could use your words to promote CSLA learning activities?
Empowering!
