My Learning 2.0 Journey, Part I

This is going to be short but I thought I would comment on my progress. Last week ITS took a crash course in Learning 2.0. We covered several topics each afternoon. Now many would think that being an "IT Professional" would mean I am on top of every little technology that's out there. Including blogs, wiki's and RSS feeds. That sounds familiar. :-) Actually I'm not. I understand the concept behind it all, grasp the technology. But there is so much out there to know that you can't be an expert in all of it. Nor do you find yourself ever using most of it. I am good, don't get me wrong. I am highly skilled at computer repair, and can find my way around the Window registry better than most, and there isn't a computer related challenge I will walk away from. Even if it requires time for research and study. But, I just don't see how anyone could ever utilize all these wonderful tools. My main problem would be keeping track of all the user accounts. That's why I stick with anything associated with Google.

Well enough of that. Here is a list of some of the things I have covered. Please note some of this was accelerated. There are some things I will revisit because I didn't get to spend too much time on them. Some things I have no use for but am happy to know they are out there. I will post more as I go and try to elaborate on some of them.
