Summary

1. I would rate my web savviness at a 7/10. I feel like I have a better understanding of multiple web 2.0 applications and their purposes... but to reach the guru level I will need to spend more time using each. 
2. Betty Blogger school definitely met my expectations!
3. I can't say that I found Betty Blogger challenging- the explanations and instructions for each technology were clear and easy to follow. 
4. I enjoyed the self directed learning model. I prefer to learn at my own pace.
5. I would certainly recommend the program if it was run again. 

Library Thing

My books

I like the concept of library thing. However I think I could just as easily use bibliocommons for the same purposes.

I might investigate the site further to see if Library Thing has features that bibliocommons does not which I would use.

My Recipe

RSS Feeds

I subscribed to the Home Globe and Mail and NPR Music feeds.

I found Google Reader quick and easy use. The video was helpful.

I will continue to use google reader. Like twitter, I like to be able to quickly check what's new.

Wiki

I will be brining chips with a cream cheese and salsa taco dip.

I found the Wiki easy to use. I might use it to make group plans, but I currently use facebook or gmail to do so.

Picasa

The tags assigned to the photo I chose were:

• Anonymous
• Bicycle
• G600
• KonicaMinolta
• Road
• Snow

I really liked Picasa. I especially liked that you could add a link to map quest to show exactly where your photo was taken. I will likely continue to use Picasa as I think it is a great way to privately share photos with friends and family.

Twitter

I found twitter to be more useful than I thought it would be. I personally do not think I will use the tweeting feature- but I think I will find it useful to follow companies or organizations to get quick updates on what is new. I would be much willing to follow a group on twitter than handout my email for a mailing list. I will continue to use twitter after the program but I cannot see myself tweeting.
