Task #10: Summary

What was the most important thing you learned in the Betty Blogger summer school? Why?
I guess the most important thing I learned is that not only is there such a great variety of tools that are available to everyone, but all they require is the confidence to just try things and the belief that I really can't 'break' the Internet by learning it!

What was most challenging part of Betty Blogger? Why?
The most challenging part for me was being aware of just how much time I could spend playing around with each of these new tools.

How successful was the “self-directed” learning model?
This was quite succesful for me. I was a little nervous at the outset because I was afraid I might not 'get it' on my own. But, with others taking the same course at the same time it was very easy to get assistance when I needed it. Ultimately, the self-directed model worked very well within my work and vacation schedules - and did not result in any high stress and deadline related anxieties.

Looking back at your reasons for participating in the Betty Blogger summer school (see your blog entry for Task #1), did the program fulfill your expectations?
Yes, this program has more than filled my expectations. I definitely have learned many ways that I can be using the Internet to my advantage.

If we ran this program again, would you recommend us to a friend?
I absolutely would recommend this program - in fact, I have already spoken about it with a couple of friends.
