Task 23--Survey--CHECK!
Wahoooooo! Webolution achievement glory. I really enjoyed Webolution. I was racing to finish before CAL and made it. Yipppeeee. So. Webolution in retrospect. I liked learning about many things. I think digital audiobook downloads, file conversions, and open office are the most "potentially helpful to patrons" things to learn that I've gotten out of this. I also liked a lot of the Reader's Advisory stuff which brought up some sites I hadn't looked at before. The reminders of our resources were good, too. I wasn't a big fan of the weird, non-famous, "indie" - aka we'll charge you once we're "somebody" - music tasks, but then again, I'm not musically inclined, and they're still good to know about. I feel like I learned more than I had known before about Open Source, and Copyright...which are increasingly important. My personal favorite just to play with was Picnik. Some were silly in that I can't think of a single actually useful purpose for, like Sound Snap, but they were still fun to experiment with. I think most importantly, Webolution exposes us to tools and sites and concepts we wouldn't cross paths with ordinairily, and thats all that matters. I'm considering my tech savviness horizons broadened. I support any attempts at occasional, ongoing webolution!
