"Fireworks" by Magdzia s (from Flickr)Well I never quite thought I'd get here when I first started this journey!
Venturing off into cyberspace was a bit scary at first, particularly the whole idea of having to keep an online diary in the form of a blog. Never having been a diary type of person, and particularly the idea that anything I publish on my blog is open for others to view, caused me a bit of concern to start with. However I think I've got used to blogging now.
Some of my favourite activities were signing up with LibraryThing and creating my own library catalogue of favourite titles, and also Bloglines. Finding the time to keep checking for my latest RSS feeds will probably be a bit hard in future, but I'll definitely try to make time to check my favourite one which comes from a blog called Dessertaholic! (Some really luscious recipes keep appearing so it was definitely worth finding). Even dinosaurs need to eat dessert sometimes!!
I think the program has been good from a lifelong learning point of view as it has definitely pushed me way out of my comfort zone with technology/Internet use, and exposed me to lots of new concepts that I had no idea even existed on the Web.
It has also improved my internet skills, such as adding hyperlinks to my blogs, adding images, etc. I guess the only difficulty I had was sometimes finding the time to work through the program, as I sometimes felt I needed more than our allocated time to fully understand some of the different activities.
I'm not sure whether I'll continue to blog, as I may not have anything much to blog about in future, but who knows-stay tuned for future musings of Techno-dinosaur!
