Thing 19: Evaluation or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love to Blog

Well, I may be exaggerating just a bit.  I do not plan to become a blogger.  I've done my duty and survived the 19 Things.  Bring on Badge #6!

  • Has anything changed as a result of this experience: Nothing in my daily life, or use of of my mobile device in at, has changed much.  I still use social media and apps infrequently, but learning more about apps that are out that can only help me.  I do use Spotify occasionally now in addition to Pandora, and I used Hoopla for music a lot in March.  In fact, I used up all 10 checkouts for the month. I have removed almost all of the new apps I tried out from my phone.
  • My favorite things and discoveries:  I did enjoy the Lynda.com tutorial, but it was time consuming.  I enjoy Spotify and Hoopla.  I am traveling over Spring Break and may try the audiobooks app, which I did keep on my phone. 
  • How did you connect with others?  I did read some other people's blogs.  Most were very insightful and I was impressed by their reflections. 
  • No surprising takeaways, really.  But I am amazed if people put tons of apps on their devices and keep them.  I don't like all the clutter. 
  • Improvements:  You did an amazing job creating this and I can't imagine the hours you must have put into developing it.  Thank you!  I agree with others that working in small, collaborative groups would add value.  I learn a lot from hearing about other people's experiences. Maybe we could try a new app and then have to teach another person about it. 
  • Would I participate in the future?  Sure, especially if it's required. (insert winking emoji here.)
  • Here's my sentence promoting 19 Mobile Things: Apps and social media are an important part of popular culture, so it's valuable to know at least a little about it--don't fight it!
