I've discovered so many things through this program! I didn't know anything about rss or wikis, at least not how they worked and why they were useful. My favorite activities were avatars, movies and photos. I already had a myspace page and used youtube but it was still fun to look at other sites. I post a lot of photos online but I didn't have a clue that there were so many ways to enhance, animate and use them to make posters, trading cards and such. Just blogging and adding all the elements to my blog was so much fun.
I think this program has made me more curious about new technology and I will definitely look for updates and new programs that make the internet world more exciting and productive.
I've passed on several of the 23 Things (like Zoho Writer, Flickr Toys) to friends and family. Actually, one of my grandsons is doing the online program for customers. He thinks it's all very cool!
This is certainly something that should be incorporated into computer classes! I think people would be amazed to learn the fun and interesting things they can do online. It could be billed as "Beyond Microsoft!!"
This has been a great program. It was something that brought staff together, competing for bling and helping each other work through the exercises. The fact that you could get behind and still catch up was nice too. Perhaps this is something that could be made available to all new hires to get them up to speed with all the latest trends. Since it would be hard for Grace or Fay etc to monitor ongoing progress, perhaps it could be offered once a quarter and the participants could notify someone when they had completed the 23 Things and the blog could be read then and training credit given.
Congratulations to all who were involved in producing this program! Beth's videos were hilarious.
