Wow, I can't believe in just a few short days this class will be over and I will be graduating from Florida State University. I feel like I just got acclimated to being a student again and now it's all over.
In response to the prompt, I have learned a lot in just a few short weeks. When we started, I felt like I was pretty well-versed in social networking utilities, but this class has really expanded my horizon to include tools that aren't completely "social" per se, but are still based on user-generated content.
Just to name a few tools that I've now added into my repertoire are CiteULike, Diigo, Librarything, Ning, Technorati, Second Life and Wikispaces. Through our class produsage projects I also got to see a wide variety of the application of these tools.
I had the most fun creating my own produsage: The Tallahassee 365 Project. I find myself daily looking for things to add, events to post, etc. I'm sure the novelty will wear off at some point but so far I've really enjoyed the project. This was a good way for me to end my master's degree--doing something I liked, rather than a project I hated.
Professionally, I'd really like to starting creating a statewide wiki that can be used by people working in the suicide prevention field to report to my office what kinds of activities are going on in their local communities. I know this seems like something that could be done via email, but a wiki could aggregate the data, be updated all the time, and generally save me a lot of time and effort.
I look forward to learning about even more Web 2.0 tools and how I can integrate them into my daily life in the future.
