I think the concept behind Learning 2.0 was a good one. There are so many useful sites and applications on the internet and this was a good way to introduce them to everyone. It taught everyone how beneficial the internet can really be.

I think one of the problems was the length of the project. Stretching it out over so many weeks with only one task to work on was the reason I got so far behind. A lot of the tasks didn't take too much time and I knew I had plenty of time to accomplish all of them. I think if all the tasks were available from the start (for anyone who requested it maybe), or more were available at one time, I would have kept up with it more and not rushed to get everything done at the end. I consider myself very computer savvy and this project was geared towards people who weren't. Most of the applications I already knew about and used and the ones I wasn't familiar with specifically, I used something different that was similar. I also think too many of the applications had the same idea behind them and the tasks were too similar. I found myself going through them thinking the same things and writing the same things in my blog. The internet is useful, I already knew this.

If there was another library wide project like this, I think it should be shorter with more specific tasks to accomplish, other than just writing about my experiences. I enjoyed actually going to sites and setting up accounts and actually using the applications. I realize there is no other way to keep track of who's doing what task, but I found it tedious just writing about my discoveries every time.

Like I said, I liked the idea behind the project, and I know it was fun for other people and very beneficial, but for me, I don't feel I got much out of it.
