Relax/Reflect

It was a great learning adventure. I especially liked Pandora, Avatars and of course, blogging. I now know how to help our customers with their questions more effectively. I have always been a "I can figure this out" kind of person but now I feel I have the knowledge to assist more efficiently.

I had trouble keeping up with the lessons. I wonder if 2 lessons per month might be a better pace based on the level of activity in each of our buildings as well as other committee commitments.

Other than that, I thought the SIL 20 for 2.0 team did a fabulous job!

Gaming

It was harder than I thought. I could get hooked....

Geomapping and Google Earth

Google earth was amazing even if they had my address in the wrong place. I was able to peruse my neighborhood. It must have been garbage day because my cans were out. It reminded me that I live in a wonderful place!

Avatars



Here is my Avatar. I wish I had more options like ability to streak my hair and have it be a little longer, etc., but all in all I look pretty library-like!

Online Apps

Google docs was pretty cool - easy way to share files with coworkers. ZoHo didn't support Excel 2007 .xls which was weird.

Podcasting

I wasn't successful downloading a podcast. I'll have to try again tomorrow.

Search Engines

I still like Google the best. Mama is clean and efficient, Rollyo is a messy and complicated screen. Several of the links I clicked on froze.
