23rd Thing!

This has been an enjoyable and challenging experience! I think I had the most fun with LibraryThing, Flickr, and the various generators that we played around with! I think I will continue to use blogs, YouTube, and possibly podcasts from time to time. If nothing else, I definitely feel like I've gained a lot of knowledge and I feel more comfortable with some of the resources on the Internet. If this program (or something similar) was offered again, I would definitely participate!

Netlibrary

I think this will be fun to try once I get my MP3 player. I would like to download "The Book of Lost Things" by John Connolly. I think this will be fun to use while walking the dog or on the treadmill. I may even use it while doing chores! I love to listen to audiobooks and do so frequently in my car. This will just add another way for me to do that!

Podcasts

I tried out a few podcasts and found one that I might enjoy - Mugglecast, a podcast about the Harry Potter books. These have been recommended to me, and they sound fun. I also subscribed to something called childrensbookradio, but I didn't enjoy it and probably won't listen to it much. I think podcasts are pretty neat, but I just don't see myself using them all that much. I'd have to be able to download them on something portable, such as an MP3 player, and maybe I'll do that once I get one after completing Learning 2.0! I think it would be fun to listen to them while walking the dog or walking on the treadmill.
