Final Evaluation

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey? I loved being able to put all my favorites in del.icio.us... it's great to be able to access all my "stuff" wherever I am! It was really fun amazing my husband with things he didn't know about.


How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals? I was exposed to things that I would not have discovered any other way, thanks so much for introducing me to all this wonderful technology and a special thanks to those of you who had to hold my hand through learning most of it.


Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you? Probably the realization that I could "organize" myself on the computer in ways that I didn't even know existed before this class.


What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept? I thought it was great the way you presented it, even though some of the week's I felt a little overwhelmed... I'm pretty sure that was just me, thankfully there was always someone willing to get me kick started and back on track. Sometimes it seemed to go too quickly to really absorb all that I was learning, it caused me to stretch myself further each week. However, I think I could start at the beginning right now and learn a bunch more the second time through.


And last but not least… If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate? I will if you'll have me!

Exploring Overdrive

I've downloaded a few books in the past and love being able to "read" anywhere I am, even when I don't have my hands free, like when I'm knitting :D I like mysteries and the one that caught my eye was... "Beneath A Southern Sky" a Natalie Camfield Series, Book 1, by Deborah Raney. I already finished it and enjoyed it very much!

Podcasts on Everything Under the Sun!

I explored all the different links to podcasts and I found the most that were of interest to me on podcastalley.com. It referred me to Podshow where I set up an account and saved the seven podcasts that I subscribed to. I found them on various subjects... Health (Mayo Clinic), Read through the Bible in a year, Inspirational thoughts by Max Lucado, Knitting tips, Praise Music, Bible study and Healing Music. Now I just have to find the time to listen to them. I figured with seven I could listen to one each day of the week or something like that.

Look what I found on YouTube!

I found this to be incredibly uplifting. This little girl not only knows all the words to the song but she has amazing pitch and expression in her singing. My mom used to sing at weddings, she was a wonderful soprano and this was a song she often did. There are other songs on YouTube done by this same little one, you might want to check out 5 little ducks and Amazing Grace... she also has some songs she sings in Mandarin, what an amazing little girl!
