#23 Is this really the end? Or just the beginning ...
Well!!!! finally have got to the end of this. Very different to what I expected at the start of the program. I found lots of things which were amazing especially the amount of information out there apart from "Google". Heaps of alternative ways of doing stuff and an enormous array of tools, links and fun things to play with. I still am quite confused with some of the tools, especially the video / audio ones and I'm not sure just how useful some of the stuff I have tried will be, BUT there are quite a few areas I just have to revisit and play with. All in all I am really happy to have completed these 'things'.
#22 Audiobooks (or "The end is in sight ")
I found this exercise a bit more rewarding than the pod cast one. I have yet to discover the wonders of MP3 players, iPod's or whatever else is out there so I'm not altogether comfortable with the concept of downloading instead of borrowing library material. Technology is evolving so fast that until I need to know I'm happy just stumbling along.

#21 Podcasts, Smodcasts!
Hated this. Couldn't find anything I was interested in or even recognised as anything I would be interested in. Didn't do any RSS feeding either. This thing was really a waste of time for me.
#20 You too can YouTube
Have followed the instructions and copied and pasted the link to YouTube - Library Dominoes. Yet another tool I would hope to revisit very soon. Still in a bit of a rush to get this finished so will move onto the next thing!

#19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools
Had a good look around the winners of the web tools and again was impressed with what is out there available for anyone who might stumble across it. A number of links took me deeper into cyber space until eventually I forgot what had interested me in the first place. Looks like I'll need to leave a trail of bread crumbs next time I wander through these sites.

#18 Web-based Apps: They're not just for desktops
Great alternative to MS Office - need more time to explore all the features. Does this mean the end of Bill Gates? Could it be his Waterloo? The further I get into these exercises the more questions arise!
