Before coming to the Playground, I was at least familiar with most of the Web 2.0 things it covers. However, going through the exercises allowed me to explore many of them in depth. That has been a very useful exercise. I'm not sure whether I'll start using any of these resources on a regular basis. But, good to know what's on offer.
I've been impressed with how fruitful the exercise has been at Parkgate for staff members who, though familiar with the Internet, have never had a chance to check out many of the Web 2.0 applications covered on the Playground. Doing these exercises as a group has been motiviating for folks, as has the opportunity to blog, and read other's blogs.
Successful experiment!

Thing #23
Know my way around Library to Go E-audio but have not sampled any wares yet. I'm a mac/ Itunes user so I can't play the audiobooks and I'm not at all tempted to read a book on my computer. Curious to give a kindle a whirl though. As soon as I do I'll try a download.
Thing # 22
I use Itunes to subscribe to a number of podcasts (several from the CBC). When I want to find postcasts on a given topic, Google remains my favourite tool.
