My Final Reflection on LIS629-Summer 2010

My final reflection...what an experience! So much technology is out there, I never knew!!

Before I started the class, I was very apprehensive about it. I had no idea what the class was actually going to be like, and honestly, I was a little intimidated by Karen after reading about her awards. Now having come out the other side, I can honestly say that it was a great experience, Karen is not scary at all, and I learned tools that I know will be useful to me. When the class first ended, I thought, it was crazy to try to cover all of that in 5 days, but now that a week has passed and I have taken a moment to breathe, I cannot see any other way to do it! I think that taking it over a shorter time period, kept me from saying "I can't..." it forced me to just do it!

A favorite? Do I really have to choose? I love the blog, livebinder, wikispaces, voicethread, amaztype, spell with flickr, all the google tools, photostory, webspirations, voki...does that about cover everything? Of course not! There were a few that I did not like...mindomo and empressr were very difficult to work with. I can see myself using wikispaces, voicethread, photostory, all that I listed above, in a school setting, or just in my life. I will stick with Twitter for a while, but I find it hard to keep up with, if you do not check it every second you will miss something!

All in all, I loved the class, I wish there was a Part II...
