The Finish Line

Amen!!! I have crossed the proverbial finish line!! The basic concept of the Learning 2.0 (aka 23 Things) is a good one - it was not easy to implement. The demands on everyone's time were great. We (including yours truly) have been scrambling to finish the assigned task while doing our jobs. Unfortunately, we have once again reached a point where we are overwhelmed with meetings and training sessions (be they in person or online). Perhaps something to be gained from this experience that is not technologically based is that we need to continually monitor expectations as compared to available time to meet those expectations. Yes, this Learning 2.0 is information we need!! Could we have done it in modules?? Teams?? Please believe me - this is not a complaint - it is a suggestion. While the information was invaluable, it took alot of time to go over. Many of us worked for hours on Learning 2.0 on our on time. Who could accomplish any one of the outlined tasks in 15 minutes and do it properly (please enlighten me if you did!)??? It took at least an hour for each one. The main concern I have here is that the value of the lessons has been diminished by the need to finish the task.
