Thing 23- The end :(

I CAN'T QUITE BELIEVE THIS IS THE LAST THING. I'M KINDA SAD ITS ALL OVER AND WOULD DEFINITLY PARTICIPATE IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN IF CML COMES UP WITH ANOTHER ONE. BECAUSE I'M STILL A STUDENT AND BECAUSE COMPUTERS HAVE BEEN A PART OF MY GENERATION FOR QUITE AWHILE NOW, I CONSIDER MYSELF PRETTY KNOWLEDGABLE ON ALL THE TECH STUFF OUT THERE. LEARN AND PLAY GAVE ME A HUGE OPPORTUNITY THOUGH TO EXPLORE SOME THINGS THAT I HAD NOT REALLY HEARD OF OR THAT I HAD HEARD OF BUT HAD NOT TAKEN THE TIME TO WORK WITH YET.

I FOUND IT HARD TO GET STARTED WITH LEARN AND PLAY AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WAS THAT WE WERE TRACKING. ONCE I STOPPED THINKING SO MUCH ABOUT IT AND UNDERSTOOD THAT WE WERE JUST TRACKING OUR BLOG POSTS I GOT INTO THE FLOW OF IT AND IT WAS MUCH EASIER.

I REALLY LIKED EXPLORING FLICKR AND SOME OF THE OTHER PHOTO AND IMAGING SITES. I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY IN ALL FORMS SO THIS DID NOT SURPRISE ME.

I'VE SEEN THE RSS BUTTONS ON SOME WEBSITES AND ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT. I WAS HAPPY TO EXPLORE THE RSS READERS IN WEEK 4, BUT I ALSO FOUND THIS TO BE THE MOST CHALLENGING WEEK FOR ME.

I LIKED LIBRARYTHING, BUT BECAUSE OF ITS LIMIT ON ADDING BOOKS I SIGNED UP FOR A GOODREADS ACCOUNT INSTEAD. I WOULD NEVER HAVE REALIZED I COULD DO THIS THOUGH WITHOUT HAVING EXPLORED LIBRARYTHING. TWITTER IS STILL PROBABLY MY LEAST FAVORITE. IT WAS EASY TO WORK WITH BUT I STILL NEED TO FIND IT MORE APPLICABLE FOR MYSELF.

IN GENERAL I LIKED HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT SOME OF THE NEW THINGS OUT THERE. MOST OF THESE SITES WERE ACTUALLY FUN TO EXPLORE. IT REALLY WAS A LEARN AND PLAY EXPERIENCE!
