This is my final post for the course. I’ve really enjoyed exploring all of the tools that are available out there now. I also am amazed at how easy it was to create a blog. That was probably one of my favorite aspects of the course. Taking the time to experiment and practice using these tools in a safe environment. While I had “poked around” before, the course really gave me the push that I needed to closely examine and experiment.
I also liked learning about becoming a LifeLong Learner. That is a lesson that I hope to carry with me always.
One of the biggest surprises for me was realizing that I actually know a lot more than I thought I did. I am not a big user of a lot of these tools for various reasons, the biggest reason probably being that for the most part, they really do require you to put yourself “out there.” This is something that has never come naturally to me and that I am still somewhat reluctant to do. Writing this blog has been a big challenge for me, but I think it’s good to push myself outside of my comfort zone sometimes. How else would I learn… and grow?
The only problem that I had with the class was that it was difficult for me to keep up with it. That is more my learning style and I think that I work best with deadlines. Leaving things open was hard for me and I tend to let things go until they absolutely need to be done. Having some sort of deadline works best for me. Despite that, I think that I would try something like this again. Like I said before, it was a good, safe way for me to experiment and I learned a lot.
