Today was great for me. I guess that I am more of an experiential learner than I once thought. Lisa's approach seems to work for all of us. So often we learn something and then don't get the chance to apply what we learned. How and what we apply is personal to each of us but having eight other people to bounce ideas off of is comforting.
My learning goals include using technology to promote my library and my program, to create webquests for student achievement, and to assist my faculty and staff in using appropriate technology to meet their needs. For now. This could change tomorrow.
The only difficulties that I had involved multiple people on the same wiki (traffic) and my own way of organizing information.
I am excited by the prospects of not being tethered to my wonderful but overworked technology coordinator and also the possibilites of providing in-house technology training for my staff.
The pre-class readings showed me how far and how fast technology has evolved. I'm not one to listen to many podcasts (this will now change) and view technology in perhaps a cautionary way. I should not be afraid; walk in and get both feet wet.

I love your eager-learner attitude, Mary. It's a pleasure to have you in class even if you are "invisible" by audit standards ;-)
