Reflection

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, lads and lasses, I hereby cordially welcome you to read....the....very....LAST BLOG FOR 23 THINGS.

Yes, it's very exciting, I am feeling pleased and triumphant.

Ok. Serious time.

My favourite discoveries/tasks have to be Librarything and Delicious. I loved those task enormously, I found them great fun, and very interesting - especially Delicious. I'll definitely be using both in the future, and thanks to the Delicious task of 23 things, I'm currently fascinated and knee deep in Greek and Roman myths.

We-ell....23 thing has taught me new things. I never knew you could do some of the things you can with photos with programs like Pixlr, which is going to be enormously useful when I'm trying to pretty up future photos from trips or events. I never really understood how RSS feeders worked before the 23 things program, and now I have so many blogs to read it's almost scary.

I discovered that I can made an audio recording of a book that people can listen to, thanks to LibriVox, which I think is such a lovely and useful idea. I think it's brilliant, I am full of glowing praise for LibriVox, and I'm pleased I discovered it thanks to this program.

I never knew WiFi security was so bad and easy to break for hackers, which was an eyeopener, and something I'm much more aware of now that I know. It's concerning that it's so easy, especially as a person who has WiFi at home.

Ah, I've just realised I haven't answered the other points yet, bother, as Pooh says.

It's hard to say how this has assisted my lifelong learning goals - I don't really have any at the moment. But it has been an eye opener, and I know that I will use media and information that I learned and gained from 23 things in the future, and probably not just for fun, but for work or for study when I eventually decide to become a student again.


I think I've already sort of answered point three, if there was any takeaways or any unexpected outcomes.....there were, which I've mentioned above. But the thing that surprised me the most was just how much I enjoyed completing the tasks, and blogging about what I liked and didn't like, what I learned or discovered. I've enjoyed being a part of this much more than I thought I would.

I think 23 things is well set out, I don't think there's anything that needs to be changed.

As for doing this on my own, and at my own pace....I love doing duties and tasks at my own pace, I do my best work and am at my most comfortable when I can so so, but at times that isn't such a great thing. And one of the problems with it is that occasionally I'm forgetful, and I completely forgot about the 23 things program for about half the time I was meant to be doing the tasks.

I think there are tasks I would have appreciated more if I'd kept a better eye on the 23 things program, and didn't have to do so much in a short amount of time. But that's my fault, not the fault of the 23 things program. But I wasn't very motivated at times (clearly).

Well. It has for the most part been fun, a blast, a whirlwhind of craziness and awesomeness. I have genuinely enjoyed myself, and I certainly hope whomever's read this blog has enjoyed reading it.

Roger, Wilco and out.
