Last class post! December 8, 2006

Farewell, LIS 757, I have learned a lot. For our final week tasks I am to comment on which social software tools I will continue using. Definitely Bloglines and Del.icio.us. I have been using them throughout for many other reasons than this class and I have become addicted. I hope to return to some of the other tools and try them again - one at a time - because it became a little overwhelming at times to try out 2 or 3 tools a week. I’m certain I will check out Flickr some more and I would like to explore CiteULike a bit more since I’m using RefWorks a lot lately and have a few complaints!

I’ve enjoyed trying to find my ‘blogging voice’ and trying out WordPress. They seem to have ironed out some of the glitches lately and I will definitely stick with them. I’m going to try to continue blogging - after a little break - but I have yet to decide what I’d like my ‘theme’ to be.

I’ve enjoyed this distance course very much - I had one distance course before in this MLIS program and didn’t learn nearly as much. I feel like the workload has been very comparable to a regular class but that I’ve learned much more. Good work balancing it, Amanda! I read your ideas for future classes and agreed with them all. Best of luck in your future classes
