I can't believe it has been thirteen weeks already! Time has seemed to fly by since we began this course. I have really enjoyed my experience through this course, I was somewhat apprehensive at the beginning because of my inexperience with some of the technology, but I found that much of the readings were laid out that I could figure out how everything worked. I have really enjoyed the flexibility that has in this course as well as doing the blogs each week, not only writing my own thoughts about the different technologies down but also what others thought as well. I really enjoyed doing the blogs each week as well as reading the readings. I really enjoyed the readings of the videos, I thought they were a fantastic way to learn how the technology worked before getting into its relationship with libraries. I really liked to read about how all of these technologies were being utilized in libraries as well as seeing the case studies.

I don't think there would be anything that I would want to have done differently. This has been a fantastic course to finish up my Masters!  Thanks for the great experience everyone! :D

Hi Carolyn,

I have to agree with you about time just flying by in this course. The blogs were a great way to keep in touch with classmates and explore lots of different ideas about social software. The case studies also were really useful for seeing the readings in action and figuring out what works well and what does not.

Hi Carolyn,

I definitely agree that one of the strengths of this course was the fact that each week was laid out according to 'general' information about each piece of social software and then the case studies and further readings built on those basics and showed their applicability in a library environment.

Thanks for the post!
