I've enjoyed working on this course. I've done several things I never though I'd ever do! (... for example, creating a My Space page or messing around with a wiki.) What I've particularly enjoyed is the low key atmosphere of the course. In other online courses I've taken there were strict timelines (i.e. getting certain assignments done by a certain date). It's been nice to feel like I'm more in control of the pacing. I also really appreciate the timeliness of the feedback. Thank you!
The Web 2.0 Tools were fun to peruse. I was pleased to see several sites I'm familiar with on the list... In the category for photo editting, Picassa was listed and I would 110% support this selection. It is the main photo program we use and I prefer it over almost everything else. (The only think I don't like about Picassa is that it is not available for Apple computers, it is strictly a windows product.) It has spoiled me, particularly in its uploading capabilities. Unlike i-photo which uploads every picture off the camera each time, this program can recognize what pictures you have already uploaded and then it only loads the new pictures. It also puts them automatically into folders, so it's fairly easy to locate a specific photo.
I enjoyed the site where people had told a story in a single sentence. Fun!

I love Picassa, too. It's gotten so much better and more stable. And I love the online capacity - we shared all of my sister's wedding pictures online immediately after the wedding.
Thanks for your kind words about the class - we're so fortunate to work with such supportive and thoughtful people. And, this has been a great learning experience for me as well.
