Hmmm....My Final Thoughts....L&P

When I first heard of the concept "Learn and Play" I was a little apprehensive about learning about "new technology." I am not afraid of technology but am the type of person that is fairly knowledgeable and was comfortable with my skills. Learn and Play has forced me to "learn" and expand my technology skills and bring me into the 21st century. Before now, I didn't have a clue as to what a "wiki" and let alone a "wiki sandbox." The only sandbox I knew of was the kind I played in as child making sand castles. This experience has definitely broaden my knowledge base of web 2.0. During this experience there were sites that I enjoyed more than others such as the online image generator, flickr and shelfari and then there were sites that I would rarely use such as twitter seeing that I am more of a person who prefers to communicate more via text messaging and e-mail. Overall, it has been a positive learning experience. The only thing I wish was that maybe we could have been paired up with an "expert" or "mentor" that we could check in with if we had any questions.
