Well, this program was fantastic. It made me stretch in a way I wasn't entirely sure I could. It also reminded me that we each have to make decisions about and manage our own growth and education, including professional education. For me that meant that while there wasn't time at work to do this, except for Week 9 activities, it was great that I could do it from home and finish. It was a marvelous and fun program. Adding the prizes, making it voluntary and having the occasional emails to spur us on was helpful. I really don't have suggestions for improving it without totally swamping Jim and Ellen even more. It must have been quite a challenge to keep up with the monitoring. This 'model' for learning is something we should keep in mind for the future. It was gratifying to hear staff say how much they enjoyed doing this in their office where they could ask for help and get it. Several staff came in on their days off to do this, FT and PT. It doesn't get any better than that.
I will need a little more time to think about how we can apply some of the 'things' to work. I have to admit I was doing this exercise FIRST for myself, secondly for work application ideas. I'm sure I'll have some ideas after I finish basking in the glow of my success. Isn't it all about me???

Neato! You made it to the end. It's amazing how much we've all accomplished through this program. It was fun talking to you about Overdrive, podcasts, Rollyo, Library Thing, avatars, etc., etc. Thanks for your positive comments - and thanks A WHOLE LOT for the support your branch gave staff with your Friday evening cram session. That was great!
To the Buff Man,
Thanks again for your help. This time I finished for real. I guess I truly goofed off during Play Week 5. Too literal ;)
Neat, neat program.
