Finito

I've finished the 23 Things with my hair and nerves intact and I'm not even under a doctor's care for stress related illnesses.
Some exercises I enjoyed more than others - Blogging is a blast, Flickr is fun, I felt right at home with Library Thing, and my avatar is still with me on Yahoo (I need to get her a new outfit) but, I digress. Some applications I would like to revisit and try to apply like tagging and bookmarking.
I think that what I'm most pleased about is that I've learned lots and I have a clue!
My learning journey will continue as the V Team introduces 2.0 tools and technologies into our library system. How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Web 2.0?

You'll Find Me In Facebook

Well, after my panicky e-mail regarding the link in Thing # 19, it is now active again so I checked out the list of winners and was pleased to see that several of the sites were familiar - at least in name. I went to Facebook and registered so that I could join the Library Technicians in Canada group. I'm listed as a member.
Also, check out the You Tube video that I posted.

Now This I Like

smile I think that these online word processing sites could be very useful. I like:

  • the idea of being able to access my documents from any computer. It wouldn't matter if I had started working on something in the ERC and then was on the circ desk - no more saving duplicate files, or worse, searching for a file because you're not sure where it was saved.
  • the templates, although I saved some to my account and haven't found them yet.
  • the ability of others to contribute to a document and collaborate

I definitely want to explore the applications of this site further but the remaining "Things" await so I am posting this to my blog and continuing on my learning Web 2.0 journey.

Wiki Wise

Have finished a pretty thorough investigation of wikis and as suggested in the discovery exercise (thing #17), accessed the PLCMC wiki and added to the favourites -my blog and a book.

Thanks lc

Whoo-hoo! I followed your instructions (sort of) and got my Library Thing library posted to my blog. I was really hung up on my failure to do so - now I can move on!

Ready for the Half Time Show

Explored Rollyo and created a search roll called Lost Worlds. It will need to have sites added as we get further into planning the Summer Reading Program. It may prove useful. So, I'm half finished the Things. Will tackle the rest in April. No foolin'.
