I do believe that most learning occurs socially. I cannot imagine getting all my knowledge from just reading and observing. I think you have to bounce ideas off of people and get feedback and differing opinions to learn and grow. This site is a very good example of a Web 2.0 learning tool because you are able to connect with people, share your experience, learn from theirs and you are free to go off and learn on your own from the podcasts and videos.
I think this site is a great source of information for people to research and learn. I might use this site for goal setting but I think I would suggest it to others who have a need for that information and who I think would learn from it.

I agree with Janine. I have learned so much from each of our classmates this semester. As I have participated in this final projects I have gained further insights into areas I am interested in exploring futher. The ability to interact anytime, anywhere and network knowledge is powerful!
