Wow, what a great experience!

First of all, I want to say THANK YOU to all of you who developed this course. I have had so much fun. My family is so impressed with my new skills. I hope you will keep the website up so I can refer back to it. There is a lot more I would like to explore.

Now, about curiosity. Yes, I think I am a curious person. I have a long list of places I would like to go, books I would like to read, classes I would like to take. I am so glad for technology that allows me to discover so much, that allows me to take classes of all kinds, that allows me to meet and converse with people from all over the world. I grew up in an urban area. When we moved here to the rural Midwest 25 years ago, I was worried about being isolated. Luckily we connected to the Internet early on (one of the first households in Baraboo to connect!) The world is at my fingertips.

My parents demonstrated the importance of lifelong learning. I guess that means curiosity! I love to learn new things. I love to explore. I have been encouraged to seek out new things since I was a child. I hope I never lose that desire. (My 90-year-old grandmother hasn't. Maybe I'm okay!) I look at each new life experience as a new adventure, good or bad.

I hope there is a third and fourth semester for Project Play. There is still so much to learn. The suggested website Go2Web20 is awesome! So much more to explore..... WooHoo!

Hi PJ,

On behalf of the PP Coordinators, you're welcome! I'm glad that you've enjoyed the project.

I'm not sure about more semesters of Project Play - but we're thinking of ways to continue. We'll keep you posted.

I hope you're inspired to keep on playing more, learning more, and fearing less!

Jean

P.S. I'd change your email address so it can't be ready as easily by machines - change the @ symbol to the word at and the . to the word dot. I don't want you to end up with tons of spam in your inbox!
